The Benevolent Celestial Tsardom of Tuldar is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Tsar Alexei Vasiliev ♔ with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.449 billion Tuldarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkograd ★. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.0%.

The powerhouse Tuldarian economy, worth 500 trillion Kolkrub Ꝅs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 91,777 Kolkrub Ꝅs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 292,376 per year while the poor average 21,916, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and state secrets now include elementary schoolchildren's notebooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuldar's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox ☦.

Tuldar is ranked 73,849^th in the world and 1^st in The Pacific Coast for Highest Average Incomes, with 91,777.43 Standard Monetary Units.
