The Federation of Tomb Planet is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 3.231 billion Tomb Planetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tomb Planetian economy, worth 158 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,071 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, military spending recently hit a new high, and a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tomb Planet's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tomb Planet is ranked 137,642^nd in the world and 2^nd in Tomb World for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 78.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
