The Lucky Holy Gold Christmas of The Toll is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.422 billion Tollishes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sillyville. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tollian economy, worth 175 trillion Candy Canes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,701 Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, and sports club owners are having a moneyball. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Toll's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Neko-ism.

The Toll is ranked 269,162^nd in the world and 42^nd in The Guild of Generations for Most Primitive, scoring -154.97 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
