The Federation of Tumak is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Moe Deubel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 849 million Tumakians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tumakia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tumakian economy, worth 91.1 trillion Tumas 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. 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 107,306 Tumas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,487 per year while the poor average 10,926, a ratio of 51.6 to 1.

Adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children, small shoes often wash up on the beach, Chairman Moe Deubel has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Tumakians any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tumak's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tumak is ranked 183,224^th in the world and 138^th in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
