The Milton Friedman Worshipers of 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 31st, 2007, Twafflonia boasts a hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.716 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 12 endorsements. Its UN category is "Capitalist Paradise," and its Civil Rights are "Very Good," 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

In Twafflonia, crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force.
