The Commonwealth of Tkaso is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.604 billion Tkasoans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of osakT. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tkasoan economy, worth 184 trillion silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 114,765 silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, and the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tkaso's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tkaso is ranked 124,975^th in the world and 1^st in Great SHC Alliance for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,009.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
