The Principality of Tomeone is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Marco 1° di Tomeone with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.28 billion Tomeonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altamezia. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tomeonean economy, worth a remarkable 1,289 trillion Markuses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,104 Markuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fruit pickers with degrees in Cat psychology are a common sight, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy, and the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tomeone's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tomeonean Catholicism.

Tomeone is ranked 147,322^nd in the world and 6,191^st in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,712.52 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
