The Republic of Tuuw is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Leandro Weatherhead with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 6.11 billion Tuuws enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuuna Maĺe. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tuuwian economy, worth 415 trillion tuu-bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 68,017 tuu-bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is almost non-existent. Tuuw's national animal is the Tuna, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ahaho.

Tuuw is ranked 74,174^th in the world and 1^st in Canopy for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,233.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
