The City of Tilburg is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.224 billion Tilburgers enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The thriving Tilburger economy, worth 723 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 28,688 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is a serious problem. Tilburg's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tilburg is ranked 7,992^nd in the world and 4^th in Cities for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,305.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
