The Land of Republic of Tula is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 1.591 billion Tulans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tula. The average income tax rate is 42.7%.

The all-consuming Republic of Tulan economy, worth 138 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,838 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Tula's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Republic of Tula is ranked 74,996^th in the world and 311^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,904.27 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
