The Queendom of Tvanksta is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Audra Milegaude with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.377 billion Tvankstans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Auszra. The average income tax rate is 55.3%.

The very strong Tvankstan economy, worth a remarkable 2,031 trillion grossuses 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 151,850 grossuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", bombs make good ploughs, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tvanksta's national animal is the white stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Romowe.

Tvanksta is ranked 1,330^th in the world and 14^th in The East Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 11,715.95 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
