The Gang-Run Slums of Tontonville is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.748 billion Tontonvilliers enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Education not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port-au-Tonton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.
The Tontonvillier economy, worth 160 trillion gourdes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 58,273 gourdes, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.
Ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tontonville's national animal is the bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Tontonville is ranked 296,826th in the world and 51st in 0ld Region for Most Cultured, scoring 59 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
