The Republic of TSRCC 12 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, avowedly heterosexual populace, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.017 billion TSRCC 12ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong TSRCC 12ian economy, worth 75.6 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,348 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. TSRCC 12's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TSRCC 12 is ranked 202,297^th in the world and 59^th in Federated Nation of Western Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 816.72 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
