The Tranquility of Toulouse-Lautrec is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Henri Marie Raymond with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 45.214 billion Toulouse-Lautrecians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montmartre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Toulouse-Lautrecian economy, worth a remarkable 5,030 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 111,249 euros, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, pretty hair and tight shorts are considered to be essentials for successful political lobbyists, the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toulouse-Lautrec's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Toulouse-Lautrec is ranked 184,099^th in the world and 170^th in Nederland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
