The Republic of Touxian is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.924 billion Touxianians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 23.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Touxianian economy, worth 170 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,056 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government snoops on private internet connections, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, and government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Touxian's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Touxian is ranked 136,305^th in the world and 1^st in Katabatic Plain for Most Developed, scoring 57.2 on the Human Development Index.
