The State of Total Independence is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 14.357 billion Total Independenceans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong Total Independencean economy, worth 801 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 55,846 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Total Independence's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Total Independence is ranked 235,666^th in the world and 297^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
