The Commonwealth of Tongjing is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 542 million Tongjins are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Spirituality, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 37.1%.

The sizeable but inefficient Tongjin economy, worth 21.2 trillion dong-dong 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. 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 39,064 dong-dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

New funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen, people are offered free trials to go to trial, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and Air Tongjing is rumored to receive more government funding than the Tongjin Air Force. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tongjing's national animal is the Ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tongjing is ranked 306,341^st in the world and 15^th in NoVa Majestia Lounge for Nicest Citizens, with 0.84 average smiles per day.
