The Democratic Republic of Tausend Seen is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gale Byron with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.366 billion Tausend Seenians 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wechseln Sie die Klinge. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tausend Seenian economy, worth 103 trillion Kraftwürfels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,414 Kraftwürfels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tausend Seen's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
