The Federal Republic of Tottoro is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Mitsuki with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.277 billion Tottoroans 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 large government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edokko. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tottoroan economy, worth 620 trillion Meis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,592 Meis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tottoro's national animal is the tanuki, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tottoro is ranked 17,020th in the world and 1,089th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
