The Republic of Tsandonown is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 223 million Tsandonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Tsandonownian economy, worth 16.3 trillion owions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,185 owions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

More and more students are taking up a career in medicine, model railroad hobbyists have taken to muscling model shipbuilders off their "turf", a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tsandonown's national animal is the seahorse.

Tsandonown is ranked 12,788^th in the world and 709^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 5,145.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
