The Matriarchy of Tso is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 299 million Tsoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Tsoan economy, worth 14.0 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,925 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tso's national animal is the dove.

Tso is ranked 262,026^th in the world and 10^th in Mix for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 39.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
