The City of Tucson is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Regina Romero with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.853 billion Tucsonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Hall. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tucsonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,015 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 114,687 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, teenagers often ask adults to buy them Maxtopian Grass from government-run recreational drug stores, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tucson's national animal is the coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paganism.

Tucson is ranked 36,568^th in the world and 1^st in Tucson for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 50 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
