The Free Land of Tower Road is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 42.59 billion Tower Roadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point Pleasant. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tower Roadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,830 trillion pucks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 89,950 pucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, many junior high school teachers minor in midwifery, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tower Road's national animal is the lazy boy.

Tower Road is ranked 180,921^st in the world and 24^th in The Maritimes for Most Developed, scoring 53.5 on the Human Development Index.
