The Colony of TMA33 is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 5.323 billion TMA33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TMA33ian economy, worth 201 trillion Citas a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,902 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TMA33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TMA33 is ranked 112,203^rd in the world and 1^st in The Moderate Alliance for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,609.55 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
