The District of Tolima is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 33.784 billion Tolimans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Toliman economy, worth 403 trillion districtas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 11,943 districtas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voting is voluntary, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tolima's national animal is the trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Tolima is ranked 89,437th in the world and 174th in State for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,517.86 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
