The Most Serene Republic of TMershi Duween is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor Hugh G Rection with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 3.917 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TMershi Duween's national animal is the Boston Terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Zappa.

TMershi Duween is ranked 649th in 10000 Islands and 15,968th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 8 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
