The Republic of Tuuw is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Leandro Weatherhead with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 6.263 billion Tuuws enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuuna Maĺe. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tuuwian economy, worth 419 trillion tuu-bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 67,048 tuu-bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, thorough preparation of street foods defeats the purpose of really fast food, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime is almost non-existent. Tuuw's national animal is the Tuna, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ahaho.

Tuuw is ranked 168,627^th in the world and 2^nd in Canopy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
