The Positive Nation of Todd McCloud is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Todd with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 43.483 billion Todd 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Todd McCloud City. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Todd economy, worth a remarkable 3,889 trillion veskonoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,453 veskonoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Todd McCloud's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vayan Catholicism.

Todd McCloud is ranked 10,048^th in the world and 215^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 90.1 Effective Tax Rate.
