The Empire of Tsaetia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 204 million Tsaetians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tsaetian economy, worth 6.90 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 33,821 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mandatory patriotic themes make even the newest movies feel like remakes, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), and babysitters are a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsaetia's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tsaetia is ranked 178,649^th in the world and 3^rd in Aernen for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 310.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
