The Free Land of Tubercular Sky is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Wow Man with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, enforced nudity, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 11.446 billion Tubercular Skyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockland. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Tubercular Skyian economy, worth 81.5 trillion Fixes 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, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 7,119 Fixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tubercular Sky has designated Rockland as its capital city, The Wow Man has just been declared ruler of Tubercular Sky in an international press conference, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, and Howling has been named as Tubercular Sky's national religion. Crime is totally unknown. Tubercular Sky's national animal is the Soul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Howling.

Tubercular Sky is ranked 213,833^rd in the world and 61^st in Nudist Dreamland for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 160.85 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
