The Republic of Tza is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Tzans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.6%.

The Tzan economy, worth 408 billion zins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 58,404 zins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Harry Potter books are banned, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tza's national animal is the zua, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tza is ranked 146,775^th in the world and 840^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 3,344.92 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
