The World Superpower of Titanshen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Trask Ulgo with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, otherworldly petting zoo, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 31.168 billion Titans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katzen. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Titanshenian economy, worth an astonishing 14,790 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 474,540 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, and the government is pouring billions into replacement brains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Titanshen's national animal is the Blokkat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shroud.

Titanshen is ranked 599th in the world and 1st in The Azure Archipelago for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 12,539.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
