“We're not fat.”

The Republic of Tubbsalot is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by a bizarre humanoid ant with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.029 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Formicidia. The average income tax rate is 56%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. 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 51st in the region and 3,327th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
