The Republic of Toronos is a very large, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 313 million Toronosians 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Toronosian economy, worth 4.49 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 14,356 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toronos's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Toronos is ranked 228,594^th in the world and 1,707^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 41.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
