The Republic of Tumour is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 3.171 billion Tumourians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Tumourian economy, worth 201 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 63,571 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tumour's national animal is the Pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tumour is ranked 44,888th in the world and 266th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Authoritarian, with 1,920.44 milliStalins.
