The Commune of Torregal is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Popular Liberation Front with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, digital currency, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.961 billion Torregalese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brigida. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Torregalese economy, worth a remarkable 5,078 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 299,443 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for the Popular Liberation Front's eyes only', and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime is totally unknown. Torregal's national animal is the black cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anarcha-feminism.

Torregal is ranked 825^th in the world and 1^st in Holy Land for Highest Poor Incomes, with 284,711.73 Standard Monetary Units.
