The Dictatorship of Toywar is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 152 million Toywarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Toywarian economy, worth 7.61 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,066 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and the government has enacted freedom of information. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Toywar's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Toywar is ranked 211,092nd in the world and 152nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
