The Republic of TCL is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, devout population of 16.831 billion TCLians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.1%.

The thriving TCLian economy, worth a remarkable 1,323 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 78,620 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, patriots insist that size does matter, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TCL's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

TCL is ranked 74,221^st in the world and 1^st in The Celtic League for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
