Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Constitutional Monarchy of Tszech is a massive, safe nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate population of 2.727 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tszech City. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Automobile Manufacturing.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tszech's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rupee.

Tszech is ranked 2,011th in Balder and 80,415th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -17 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
