The Greatest Regions Official of TSL Control is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.472 billion TSL Controlians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish TSL Controlian economy, worth 51.2 trillion TSLS 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 Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 20,693 TSLS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TSL Control's national animal is the TSL, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TSL Control is ranked 278,400th in the world and 18th in The Southern Lands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
