The Holy Democratic Republic of Tausend Seen is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ryoka Mizuhansha with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.266 billion Tausnd Snians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wchsln Si di Kling. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tausend Seenian economy, worth 811 trillion Kraftwürfls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,705 Kraftwürfls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, students abandon classrooms for online education, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tausend Seen's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tausend Seen is ranked 8,278^th in the world and 118^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
