The Republic of Tortola-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.442 billion Tortola-1ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The powerhouse Tortola-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,080 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,685 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tortola-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Tortola-1 is ranked 88,240^th in the world and 1^st in Tortola for Safest, scoring 87.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
