The Wise Wolf Holo of Tostandia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Free People of Tostandia with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.782 billion Tostandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tostonia. The average income tax rate is 3.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tostandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,697 trillion Tostans 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Gambling, 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 an impressive 123,171 Tostans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Astronomers are flocking to Tostandia to take advantage of its clear night skies, common misteaks slip threw as the Issues Editing Team adds issues by the hundread (Tostandia has found 2 easter eggs), a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tostandia's national animal is the Nightingale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tostandia is ranked 308,544^th in the world and 43^rd in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Developed, scoring 37.59 on the Human Development Index.
