The Democratic Republic of Tousankuo is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 662 million Tousankuoans 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 Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Tousankuoan economy, worth 15.0 trillion Markkaa a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 22,723 Markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Classes are regularly interrupted by drunken children, the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, the majority whip publicly spanks unruly public servants, and the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tousankuo's national animal is the Red-crowned crane, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tousankuo is ranked 263,498^th in the world and 7^th in Pax Imperialis for Largest Populations, with 662 million capita.
