The Republic of Tumour

“Friendship is Magic!”

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

The Republic of Tumour is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 3.133 billion Tumourians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tumourian economy, worth 207 trillion Bits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,118 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, and former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tumour's national animal is the Pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tumour is ranked 137,251^st in the world and 337^th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Extreme, scoring 20.09 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
