The Theocratic Federation of Twelve Israelite Tribes is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by 𝓔𝓋𝓮𝒹 𝒜𝒹𝓸𝓃𝒶𝒾 Gabriel bar-Jacob with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.07 billion Israelites 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiloh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Israelitic economy, worth 376 trillion ש ITF Golden Shekels a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,599 ש ITF Golden Shekels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 397,110 per year while the poor average 13,820, a ratio of 28.7 to 1.

Most ש ITF Golden Shekel coins are riddled with bite marks, the National Archive now covers square miles of warehouses in order to accommodate its new stone tablets system, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, and economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twelve Israelite Tribes's national animal is the Palearctic neat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Messianic Judaic Yahwism.

Twelve Israelite Tribes is ranked 214,954^th in the world and 7,137^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -92.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
