The Most Serene Republic of Tujunga Tornado is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 225 million Tujunga Tornadoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tujunga Tornadoan economy, worth 8.00 trillion Torbits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,549 Torbits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, the government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tujunga Tornado's national animal is the Tasmanian Devil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tujunga Tornado is ranked 208,691^st in the world and 8,719^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 7.48 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
