The Swiftly Tilting Land of Tsunamy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by L Woods with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.333 billion Tsunami hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vertigo City. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tsunami economy, worth a remarkable 2,705 trillion verts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 95,478 verts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsunamy's national animal is the glittered hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tsunamy is ranked 191,475^th in the world and 6,343^rd in the South Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 329.61 milliStalins.
