The Most Serene Republic of Toli is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.373 billion Tolians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tolian economy, worth 523 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,479 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Tolian satellites can detect it, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Toli after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toli's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Toli is ranked 29,334^th in the world and 1,095^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 222.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
