The United States of Tuck island is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.892 billion Tuck islandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tuck islandian economy, worth 124 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,690 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, and shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuck island's national animal is the Dog , which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tuck island is ranked 52,057^th in the world and 2,808^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
