The Empire of Tabbland is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 719 million Tabblandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tabblandian economy, worth 70.6 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 98,247 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader claims to be the epitome of family values, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, and the Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tabbland's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tabbland is ranked 42,314^th in the world and 1,894^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,404.93 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
