The Democratic States of Tolotai is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working population of 69 million Tolotaians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The very strong Tolotaian economy, worth 4.54 trillion Tolovantais a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,868 Tolovantais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends, and internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Leader to cartoon bears. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tolotai's national animal is the Fish.

Tolotai is ranked 291,439^th in the world and 9^th in The Tolotai Order for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 186.76 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
