The Protectorate of Tuilant is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Tuilantis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Public Transport, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 17.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Tuilantian economy, worth 985 billion vennds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,739 vennds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
A milk bath costs more than bathing in money, the suicide rate mysteriously skyrockets during census years, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Tuilant's national animal is the flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tuilant is ranked 219,282nd in the world and 42nd in Lands End for Most Conservative, scoring 45.6 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
