The Colony of Tariensur is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 3.482 billion Tariensurians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.3%.

The Tariensurian economy, worth 156 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 44,835 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Tariensur's national animal is the badger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tariensur is ranked 190,531^st in the world and 15^th in Colonies for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
