The Kingdom of Tsukayen is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 26 million Tsukayenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The Tsukayenian economy, worth 1.45 trillion Karyens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,960 Karyens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Tsukayen's national animal is the Hac Linh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tsukayen is ranked 184,313^th in the world and 1,731^st in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 53.81 on the Human Development Index.
