The Loving Couple of Tr1bute4rt is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Bill with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.001 billion Tr1bute4rtians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Titan Trapper Island. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tr1bute4rtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,339 trillion snails a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 133,976 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, the national defense strategy is a little floppy, planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color", and children grow up believing the sun to be a myth. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Tr1bute4rt's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Tr1bute4rt is ranked 9,886^th in the world and 6^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Largest Black Market, with 536 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
