The Republic of Tablevania is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The devout population of 2.676 billion Tablevanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Tablevanian economy, worth 92.7 trillion table pegs a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,648 table pegs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tablevania's national animal is the Coffee table, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tablevania is ranked 283,228^th in the world and 1^st in San Diaga for Highest Average Incomes, with 34,648.47 Standard Monetary Units.
