The Loving Couple of Tribute-4rt is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Gary with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, triple-decker prams, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.032 billion Tribute-4rtians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonesborough Library. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tribute-4rtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,022 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,945 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Cute fluffy little Garies are increasingly popular exotic pets, the government byline is that a media campaign a day keeps international criticism at bay, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, and motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tribute-4rt's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Tribute-4rt is ranked 308,124^th in the world and 9^th in Unified Nations for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 20.2 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
