The Marxist People's Democracy of Tourettesia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.41 billion comrades love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunker Prime. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tourettesian economy, worth a remarkable 5,744 trillion replicator credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 295,958 replicator credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes, one can wake up in Tourettesia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, every week is blindness awareness week, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is totally unknown. Tourettesia's national animal is the bourgeois pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tourettesia is ranked 19,030^th in the world and 208^th in The Leftist Assembly for Nicest Citizens, with 23.07 average smiles per day.
