The Republic of Toothbrush is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Toothbrush with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, enforced nudity, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.775 billion Toothbrushians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sourire. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The strong Toothbrushian economy, worth 132 trillion teeth a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 74,762 teeth, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toothbrush is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and a vast monorail network carries people all over the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Toothbrush's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Toothbrush is ranked 286,580^th in the world and 350^th in Refugia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -15.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
