The Benign Republic of Tubbsalot is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by a bizarre humanoid ant with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.208 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Formicidia. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and Tubbsalot is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. Tubbsalot's national animal is the lover of fine art, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the snuckle.

Tubbsalot is ranked 62nd in the Pacific and 3,207th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
