The Soviet Republics of Tropical Coast is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Yusuf Shaabi with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.288 billion Arabs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dubai. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tropical Coastian economy, worth 98.5 trillion Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 76,472 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, billions of Dinars are being poured into a space program, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tropical Coast's national animal is the Arabian Mau, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tropical Coast is ranked 5,437^th in the world and 105^th in The North Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 7,153.07 milliStalins.
