The Swiftly Tilting Land of Tsunamy is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by L Woods with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.864 billion Tsunami hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vertigo City. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tsunami economy, worth a remarkable 2,744 trillion verts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 95,097 verts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, children are sent to either religious or secular schools, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsunamy's national animal is the glittered hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tsunamy is ranked 5,489^th in the world and 104^th in the South Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 2,744 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
