The Queendom of Tvanksta is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Audra Milegaude with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.337 billion Tvankstans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Auszra. The average income tax rate is 55.3%.

The very strong Tvankstan economy, worth a remarkable 2,025 trillion grossuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 151,850 grossuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", bombs make good ploughs, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tvanksta's national animal is the white stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Romowe.

Tvanksta is ranked 4,294th in the world and 58th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 15,541.23 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
