“Don't be a cretin, be a tom”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Oligarchy of Greater Tomland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Toms with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, aversion to nipples, and digital currency. The hard-working population of 2.006 billion Toms enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camsburgh. The average income tax rate is 23.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Tomlandian economy, worth 223 trillion Valorets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 111,194 Valorets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Camsburgh Times is sold out, and schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Greater Tomland's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Greater Tomland is ranked 92,784^th in the world and 455^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,680.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
