The Empire of Tsarus 2142 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Light with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, triple-decker prams, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.568 billion Strazhnist Tsarusians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neu Teissure. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Strazhnist Tsarusian economy, worth 291 trillion Units a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,885 Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, hunters often become the hunted, and angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsarus 2142's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Eldritch Orthodoxy.

Tsarus 2142 is ranked 241,777^th in the world and 4^th in Tsarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 201.4 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
