The New Semi-Social Empire of Tsuskia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Jullia Costanttinus II with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 830 million Ancient Tsuskians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Secure Subterrain City of Lest Monnek. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The powerhouse Ancients Tsuskia's Civillian economy, worth 72.0 trillion TsuskiaCoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,804 TsuskiaCoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,788 per year while the poor average 21,257, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Ancient Tsuskians, Secure Subterrain City of Lest Monnek's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsuskia's national animal is the Insectoids, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tsuskia is ranked 62,033^rd in the world and 1,334^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,545.29 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
