“No Quarter.”

The Nomadic Peoples of Tuchuk is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ubar with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.415 billion 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turia. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Bosks are considered a delicacy, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, military service is compulsory, and atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Tuchuk's national animal is the bosk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Fear, and its currency is the Tarsk.

Tuchuk is ranked 25th in the region and 1,401st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
