The Free Land of Town is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.401 billion Townians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.2%.

The all-consuming Townian economy, worth 820 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,845 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, fish with fish chips have become the new Townian food staple, candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, and old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Town's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Town is ranked 34,643^rd in the world and 2,049^th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 51.44 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
