The Free Land of New Tawisn is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Curator of Guidance with an even hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.993 billion New Tawisnians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Tawisnian economy, worth 97.8 trillion Pacificoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,057 Pacificoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, former planespotters are dusting off long-abandoned anoraks, the economy is undergoing a traumatic transition to capitalism, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Tawisn's national animal is the Blue Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Tawisn is ranked 148,989^th in the world and 3^rd in Alleghany for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 458.79 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
