The Republic of Loyal TD is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.031 billion Loyal TDians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Loyal TDian economy, worth 649 trillion yuan renminbis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,105 yuan renminbis, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 663,939 per year while the poor average 25,737, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.
Puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, the recently liberated free press cautiously uses compliment sandwiches to cushion its criticisms of Leader, and the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loyal TD's national animal is the moose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Loyal TD is ranked 33,451st in the world and 32nd in Varas Opener Sanctuary for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
