The Archbishopric of Twente is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Archbishop Gerhardus Janman with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 43.18 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 and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. 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 28,063 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. Average income is a breathtaking 649,916 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,567,680 per year while the poor average 111,373, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Penny whistles have been rebranded 'tin hornpipes', carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. 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 352^nd in the world and 2^nd in Europe for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 2.57 million Standard Monetary Units.
