The Peaceful Free Republic of Tubularia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Benevolent God-Emperor for Eternity Oki with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.491 billion little playthings 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, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ephebe. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Tubularian economy, worth an astonishing 13,032 trillion tusks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 606,427 tusks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tubularia's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sekkism.

Tubularia is ranked 332,934^th in the world and 5^th in Deliciousness for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -40.89 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
