The Democratic States of Tsinghai is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Premier Sasha Wanli with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 6.528 billion Tsinghaians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xining. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tsinghaian economy, worth 250 trillion yengs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,361 yengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, military spending is on the increase, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsinghai's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Taoism.

Tsinghai is ranked 129,853^rd in the world and 23^rd in China for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 829.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
