The Colony of TNUR33 is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 16.503 billion TNUR33ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TNUR33ian economy, worth 519 trillion Citas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,491 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TNUR33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

TNUR33 is ranked 265,929^th in the world and 1^st in The Nu Reich for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring zero on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
