The Republic of Tomma is a small, genial nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, ban on automobiles, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 23 million Tommen 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.0%.

The sizeable but inefficient Tomman economy, worth 1.07 trillion Alloyed-coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,664 Alloyed-coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, and bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tomma's national animal is the Obsidian Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tomma is ranked 110,008^th in the world and 1,422^nd in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,629.01 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
