Much of the nation's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast coastal marsh and swamp areas. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibises and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs and fish, such as sturgeon and paddlefish.

Historically, South Tussenland was known for their sugarcane and cotton industry, especially during the Dutch colonial times when slaves from the Guineas were imported into the region. A few decades after independence, South Tussenland was still mostly reliant on agriculture, but attempted to expand its manufacturing and production industry with the help of Mexico and Britain. In the 1900s, oil was discovered in South Tussenland. Tussenlander and New Netherlander private companies also entered the South Tussenland petroleum industry, and started building refineries and drilling sites throughout the 1920s to 1950s. ▼
The government of South Tussenland still operates under the republican constitution established in 1909. South Tussenland is a unitary presidential country, led by a president who is popularly elected in a single national constituency every six years. South Tussenland also has a bicameral legislature called the South Tussenland Senate. The Upper House consists of thirty directly elected senators, who could serve up to three consecutive terms, a single term lasting two years. The lower house consists of a mix between departmental (provincial) representatives (10 per department), and party-list representatives. There would be one party-list representative for every two departmental representatives, bringing the total number of seats in the lower house to 90.
