The TBH Commander of Red Back is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Commander Red Back with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 42.088 billion Redbackians 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 Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hawkbacawk. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Red Backian economy, worth a remarkable 6,603 trillion nas a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,906 nas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation takes the world's poor and tired and the huddled Masses yearning to breathe free, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, the blind lead the blind in social welfare, and prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Back's national animal is the red back, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Backawk.

Red Back is ranked 223,795^th in the world and 288^th in The Black Hawks for Most Primitive, scoring -100.13 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
