The Queen's State of Tordesilla is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.354 billion Tordesillans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The thriving Tordesillan economy, worth 809 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 36,222 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 107,701 per year while the poor average 9,551, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a problem. Tordesilla's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tordesilla is ranked 28,655th in the world and 3rd in Luxembourg City for Most Stationary, with 1,394.25623961988 days.
