The United Socialist States of Tamiro is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 659 million Tamiroans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tamiroan economy, worth 19.4 trillion Tams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,419 Tams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, Tamiro is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown. Tamiro's national animal is the Tamiran Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tamiro is ranked 23,480^th in the world and 1^st in Audinesca for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 96.8 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
