The State of Tulsequa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 42.783 billion Tulsequans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Defense and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The powerhouse Tulsequan economy, worth a remarkable 1,814 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 42,418 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and Tulsequa has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tulsequa's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tulsequa is ranked 16,141^st in the world and 1^st in Tulsequa for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,521.42 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
