The Colony of Tribes Republic is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Giltra Hurid with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 25.879 billion Tribesmen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lonoc. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Tribesmen economy, worth a remarkable 3,320 trillion Kùms a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,317 Kùms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Tribesmen beaches, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', many believe that Giltra Hurid's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tribes Republic's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aadrani.

Tribes Republic is ranked 287,017^th in the world and 9^th in Union of Republics for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,977.84 Standard Monetary Units.
