The Holy Empire of Toonela is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 653 million Toonelans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hall of Servitors. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Toonelan economy, worth 44.9 trillion surpluses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 68,811 surpluses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Harry Potter books are banned, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, the aims of top-secret Toonelan science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, and Toonelan tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toonela's national animal is the black eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Toonela is ranked 132,854th in the world and 62nd in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 215.4 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
