The United States of Red Tomatoes is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by 60 fresh ripe tomatoes with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.267 billion Red Tomatoes are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ecogonria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.1%.

The strong Red Tomatoesian economy, worth 532 trillion flags a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 51,861 flags, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,856 per year while the poor average 4,799, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, Red Tomatoes has designated Ecogonria as its capital city, and 60 fresh ripe tomatoes has just been declared ruler of Red Tomatoes in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Red Tomatoes's national animal is the flag.

Red Tomatoes is ranked 186,760^th in the world and 147^th in The Transitionists for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 331.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
