The Anarcho-Syndicate of Tostandia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Free People of Tostandia with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.558 billion Tostandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tostonia. The average income tax rate is 2.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Tostandian economy, worth 185 trillion Tostans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 119,366 Tostans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, the stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from The Free People of Tostandia's rear echelons, legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak, and patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Tostandia" at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tostandia's national animal is the Nightingale, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Tostandia is ranked 12,604th in the world and 8th in Eientei Gensokyo for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 5,502.11 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
