The Democratic Republic of Tausend Seen is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Gale Byron with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.39 billion Tausend Seenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wechseln Sie die Klinge. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tausend Seenian economy, worth 298 trillion Kraftwürfels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,029 Kraftwürfels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tausend Seen's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tausend Seen is ranked 84,369^th in the world and 543^rd in 10000 Islands for Highest Drug Use, scoring 79.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
