The Archbishopric of Twente is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by Archbishop Gerhardus Maria Janman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 51.036 billion Tubantians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eanske. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Tubantian economy, worth an astonishing 36,302 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 711,317 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,019,254 per year while the poor average 200,143, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, a Europe Tourist Association survey has rated Twente #1 for number twos, SOS from foreign ships mean "shoot on sight", and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twente's national animal is the Steed, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Saxon Catholicism.

Twente is ranked 3,713^th in the world and 71^st in Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,273.99 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
