The Holy Democratic Republic of Tausend Seen is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ryoka Mizuhansha with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.353 billion Tausnd Snians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wchsln Si di Kling. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tausend Seenian economy, worth 832 trillion Kraftwürfls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,209 Kraftwürfls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, most citizens in Tausend Seen are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 286,364^th in the world and 785^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
