The Island of Tobaqo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.014 billion Tobaqonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tobaqo City. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tobaqonian economy, worth 190 trillion TTDS a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,542 TTDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tobaqo's national animal is the Cocrico bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tobaqo is ranked 69,765th in the world and 3,572nd in Balder for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
