The Kingdom of Tubico is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.625 billion Tubicoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trub. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tubicoan economy, worth 305 trillion pounds 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. 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 an impressive 116,237 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and the Betamax versus VHS debate continues to rage strongly in Tubico. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tubico's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tubico is ranked 7,934^th in the world and 5^th in Gay for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 11,936.28 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
