Twafflonia is a massive, devout, safe, socially progressive nation in the region of Libertarian. It is notable for its compulsory military service, its complete absence of social welfare, and its barren, inhospitable landscape. According to a survey of July 30th, 2007, Twafflonia boasts a hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.709 billion. Twafflonia's national animal is the free-range twaffle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Twafflonian IOU. The Twafflonian motto is "Quiet! I am privatizing!"
Twafflonia is a UN member with 13 endorsements. Its UN category is "Capitalist Paradise," and its Civil Rights are "Excellent," its Economy "Strong," and its Political Freedoms "Average."
Government
Twafflonia is either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which. There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality.
Economy
Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.
Crime
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force.
