The Republic of Tabako is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Oscar Davila with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 894 million Tabaki are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Cadiz. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tabaki economy, worth 98.7 trillion Tabaki Thallers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 110,376 Tabaki Thallers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tabako's national animal is the Sunfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tabako is ranked 23,691^st in the world and 16^th in Gay for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,513.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
