The State of Pour Tabitha is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 29.143 billion Pour Tabithans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, International Aid, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Pour Tabithan economy, worth 425 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Retail and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 14,605 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pour Tabitha's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pour Tabitha is ranked 113,390th in the world and 4th in Palau for Most Primitive, scoring -30 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
