The Republic of New Tabasco is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 104 million New Tabascoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Welfare and Social Policy not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The New Tabascoan economy, worth 5.64 trillion tabascan dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,262 tabascan dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,725 per year while the poor average 3,401, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Tabasco's national animal is the fox.

New Tabasco is ranked 327,305^th in the world and 796^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
