The People's Republic of Tse-Tung is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Athena Hawthorne with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.879 billion Tse-Tungians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myxiao. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tse-Tungian economy, worth 226 trillion xephyrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 120,355 xephyrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs. Crime is totally unknown. Tse-Tung's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tse-Tung is ranked 268,242^nd in the world and 243^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
