The United Socialist States of TSSOA is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Marx with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, disturbing lack of elderly people, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 1.884 billion Toiasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marazion. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Tosian economy, worth 193 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 102,647 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Being Marx has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, protest songs are the nation's de facto anthems, rumor has it that Marx has won three lotteries in a row, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TSSOA's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
TSSOA is ranked 77,867th in the world and 76th in Conch Kingdom for Highest Economic Output, with 193 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
