The Socialist Republic of Tuseth is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by General Secretary Iysa Bielle with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.958 billion Tusethians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onapool. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tusethian economy, worth 748 trillion labour vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 125,606 labour vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise General Secretary Iysa Bielle on Tuseth's coulrophobia epidemic, government expenses are beyond compare, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tuseth's national animal is the Tusethian sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tuseth is ranked 278,574^th in the world and 325^th in The Communist Bloc for Rudest Citizens, with 17.2 insults per minute.
