We study the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions in the context of Tsallis nonextensive statistics by computing numerically the number of states with a given energy. We find that the internal energy, magnetization, entropy, and free energy follow nontrivial scaling laws with the number of constituents N and temperature T. Each of the scaling functions for the internal energy, the magnetization, and the free energy, adopts three different forms corresponding to q>1, q = 1, and q<1, q being the nonextensivity parameter of Tsallis statistics.
