The Holy Imperial Monarchy of Tuscaria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Holy Royal Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.83 billion Tuscarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Tuscarian Imperial City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tuscarian economy, worth 543 trillion Peyats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 141,944 Peyats, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children get arrested for floating paper boats on lakes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, citizens compete to guess the time between the royal lady's contractions, and the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuscaria's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is MaxBerryism.

Tuscaria is ranked 33,833rd in the world and 121st in Conch Kingdom for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,898.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
