The Socialist Democracy of Tennesseen is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President Milo with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 8.112 billion Tennesseenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nashvilleen. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tennesseenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,453 trillion Ustineens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 179,168 Ustineens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, and hospitals in Tennesseen are too busy serving the needs of Gypsy Lands to see Tennesseenians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tennesseen's national animal is the Girafturleat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kardisakan.

Tennesseen is ranked 9,603^rd in the world and 5^th in Gypsy Lands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 432.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
