The Holy Democratic Republic of Tausend Seen is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ryoka Mizuhansha with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.335 billion Tausnd Snians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wchsln Si di Kling. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tausend Seenian economy, worth 826 trillion Kraftwürfls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 112,744 Kraftwürfls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Tausend Seenian justice, sniffer dogs check train passengers for body odour, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and the endangered saltwater humpback Crow is only seen in captivity programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tausend Seen's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tausend Seen is ranked 8,558^th in the world and 142^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,008.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
