The Loving Couple of Tr1bute-4rt is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Mr Tuxedo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, fear of technology, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.027 billion Tr1bute-4rtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kitty Cafe. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tr1bute-4rtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,913 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, prison officers are bribed not to take bribes, and a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tr1bute-4rt's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Tr1bute-4rt is ranked 301,984^th in the world and 94^th in Flanelistan for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -11.12 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
