The Federal republic of Tubrita is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Harold James with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.329 billion Tubritans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of new hamsterdam. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tubritan economy, worth 769 trillion Moolas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,627 Moolas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tubrita's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tubrita is ranked 240,478^th in the world and 22^nd in Nova Britannia Prima for Most Authoritarian, with 409.77 milliStalins.
