The Republic of The-touch is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 6.933 billion The-touchians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.0%.

The The-touchian economy, worth 308 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,527 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The-touch's national animal is the Kitsune.

The-touch is ranked 178,722^nd in the world and 2,422^nd in eta for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
