“High on Hope”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Queen's State of Tuckersmithe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.616 billion Tuckersmitheans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The very strong Tuckersmithean economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 37,338 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,855 per year while the poor average 2,006, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, nudity is frowned upon, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tuckersmithe's national animal is the deer.

Tuckersmithe is ranked 261,709^th in the world and 8^th in Brasilia for Safest, scoring 12.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
