The Republic of Towle

“We Will Endure”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Towle is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.609 billion Towleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Towlean economy, worth 433 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,095 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 389,389 per year while the poor average 27,949, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Towle's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Towle is ranked 57,810^th in the world and 513^th in Cainitium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
