The Empire of Tabbland is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 741 million Tabblandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tabblandian economy, worth 72.4 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 97,713 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and economic planning is exalted as a human art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tabbland's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tabbland is ranked 42,641^st in the world and 1,887^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,394.94 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
