The State of Tanamerah is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by To' Pa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.772 billion Tanamereans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jeli. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tanamerean economy, worth 458 trillion Big Fat Tusks a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 121,492 Big Fat Tusks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tanamerah's national animal is the Big Fat Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ayah Pinism.

Tanamerah is ranked 4,173^rd in the world and 12^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Avoided, scoring 241.21 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
