The Colony of TSBC33 is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 5.386 billion TSBC33ians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TSBC33ian economy, worth 232 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,128 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. TSBC33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TSBC33 is ranked 99,553^rd in the world and 1^st in The Soviet Bloc for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,408.77 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
