The Colony of TSA33 is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 7.5 billion TSA33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TSA33ian economy, worth 334 trillion Citas a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,565 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. TSA33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TSA33 is ranked 145,043^rd in the world and 1^st in The Soviet Army for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 38,460.2 Standard Monetary Units.
