The Colony of TSS33 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 29.467 billion TSS33ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TSS33ian economy, worth 907 trillion Citas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,786 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TSS33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

TSS33 is ranked 7,189^th in the world and 1^st in The seventh sanctum for Largest Populations, with 29.5 billion capita.
