The Just of Tzo is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Citizen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.9 billion Tzoans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serenity. The income tax rate is 100%.

The gigantic but inefficient Tzoan economy, worth an astonishing 11,292 trillion Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 297,950 Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, international television adverts praise the nation as a worker's paradise, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tzo's national animal is the Albatros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tzo is ranked 270,151^st in the world and 1,678^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Crime Rates, with 0.92 crimes per hour.
