The Free Land of Tarsisha is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 683 million Tarsi 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarsisha City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.0%.

The strong Tarsishan economy, worth 36.0 trillion scrounds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,707 scrounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tarsisha successfully hosted the Restoros Olympics, the nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarsisha's national animal is the honomot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tarsisha is ranked 216,743^rd in the world and 17^th in Restoros for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
