The Republic of Tvembov is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lev Voronin with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.418 billion Tvembovians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aleralsk. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tvembovian economy, worth 169 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,365 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla, murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and enemy agents often find themselves caught in a bind. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tvembov's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rodnovery.

Tvembov is ranked 132,020^th in the world and 1^st in The Sea of Aurora for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 2,243.3 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
