The State of Totten is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.965 billion Tottenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The powerhouse Tottenian economy, worth 815 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,856 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 169,768 per year while the poor average 6,436, a ratio of 26.4 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, military spending is on the increase, and Totten has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem. Totten's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Totten is ranked 140,245^th in the world and 4^th in Winnipeg for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,628.41 Standard Monetary Units.
