The Mispeled nation of Torchertopia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kim John Unn with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.673 billion Torchertopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torchertown. The average income tax rate is 90.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Torchertopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,167 trillion vital organs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. 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 an amazing 249,863 vital organs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, scientists take credit every time it rains in The Brotherhood of Malice, imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Torchertopia's national animal is the platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Communism.

Torchertopia is ranked 254,080^th in the world and 27^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
