The Watchfires of TSC is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and avant-garde cinema. The devout population of 23.632 billion TSCians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 58.2%.

The very strong TSCian economy, worth a remarkable 1,762 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,562 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, and endangered species are effective hostages against the TSCian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TSC's national animal is the ^-^, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TSC is ranked 3,917^th in the world and 1^st in New Imperia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
