The Funhouse of Terror of Tomie is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tomie Kawakami with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.344 billion serfs 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyōtomie. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient servile economy, worth a remarkable 8,029 trillion neo yen 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. 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 amazing 437,693 neo yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tomie's national animal is the fushichō, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is servility.

Tomie is ranked 292,536th in the world and 51st in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Primitive, scoring -1135.15 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
