The Comrade Commonwealth of Tushto is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comrade Arjen Lubach with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.579 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 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tushtoan economy, worth 357 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 138,588 Stegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, nine out of ten citizens of Tushto answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. 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 181,766^th in the world and 573^rd in Europe for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 319.94 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
