The Free Land of New Tawisn is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Curator of Guidance with an even hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.05 billion New Tawisnians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The New Tawisnian economy, worth 95.6 trillion Pacificoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,630 Pacificoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, former planespotters are dusting off long-abandoned anoraks, the economy is undergoing a traumatic transition to capitalism, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Tawisn's national animal is the Blue Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Tawisn is ranked 264,538^th in the world and 5^th in Alleghany for Most Patriotic, with 1.03 flags saluted per person per day.
