The Comrade Commonwealth of Tushto is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Arjen Lubach with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.497 billion Tushtoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zwammerdam. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Tushtoan economy, worth 345 trillion Stegs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 138,504 Stegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Tushtoan language, and the recycled air in planes is nauseating. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tushto's national animal is the Dimetrodon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maxisme.

Tushto is ranked 31,551^st in the world and 299^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 138,504.91 Standard Monetary Units.
