The Imperium Territory of Tobillo is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Raymund G Collingwood with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.319 billion Tobillans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Francis Parker Jockey City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tobillan economy, worth a remarkable 1,972 trillion Larcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 237,062 Larcs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,982,433 per year while the poor average 5,503, a ratio of 360 to 1.

The nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, losing your sock key may require surgical intervention, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime is totally unknown. Tobillo's national animal is the Camo Green Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Zeitgeist.

Tobillo is ranked 18,135th in the world and 265th in Europe for Largest Governments, scoring 31.35 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
