The Holy Empire of Totern is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Stabler with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.838 billion Toternians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jandi. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toternian economy, worth a remarkable 2,751 trillion Tots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 232,462 Tots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and sports club owners are having a moneyball. Crime is totally unknown. Totern's national animal is the Hippopotamus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Totern is ranked 34,827^th in the world and 3^rd in Catholic for Highest Drug Use, scoring 105 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
