The City of Tucson is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Regina Romero with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.706 billion Tucsonians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Hall. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tucsonian economy, worth 998 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 114,687 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, teenagers often ask adults to buy them Maxtopian Grass from government-run recreational drug stores, citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tucson's national animal is the coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paganism.

Tucson is ranked 13,582nd in the world and 1st in Tucson for Most Developed, scoring 88.84 on the Human Development Index.
