The Republic of Tanaska is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Elena Nagy with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.682 billion Tanaskans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lewasing. The average income tax rate is 14.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tanaskan economy, worth 719 trillion Tanaska Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,696 Tanaska Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Landfills fill the land, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, the official Tanaskan Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and many junior high school teachers minor in midwifery. Crime is almost non-existent. Tanaska's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tanaska is ranked 61,828^th in the world and 4^th in Kingdom for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,018.65 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
