The Protectorate of TSP Transition Team is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.624 billion TSP Transition Teamians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.
The frighteningly efficient TSP Transition Teamian economy, worth a remarkable 3,159 trillion Denarii a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 231,909 Denarii, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 718,274 per year while the poor average 57,688, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.
Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, weather reports simply advise TSP Transition Teamians to 'look outside', coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk, and you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TSP Transition Team's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
TSP Transition Team is ranked 288,837th in the world and 5,409th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.48 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
