The Republic of Toquasia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Nikolai Deripaska with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 21.146 billion Toquasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Masayaf. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toquasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,433 trillion Yurels a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 162,369 Yurels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, typing President Nikolai Deripaska's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, and citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toquasia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Toquasia is ranked 6,090^th in the world and 365^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
