The Federative Kingdom of New Toucania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Federal King Richard van Toucanius III with an even hand, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 26.448 billion New Toucanians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient New Toucanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,963 trillion Royal Feathers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an amazing 263,274 Royal Feathers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,190,071 per year while the poor average 35,801, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.
Airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and Federal King Richard van Toucanius III is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime is totally unknown. New Toucania's national animal is the Toucan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Toucanism.
New Toucania is ranked 191,269th in the world and 5th in Island Continent for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 42.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
