The Holy Black Gold of Tarnesia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Nyaala Lar with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.229 billion Taarrtaarrs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thaaaaar. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taarrtaarr economy, worth a remarkable 1,669 trillion Brwyns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,339 Brwyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's not mass murder when the government does it, children and steel are ubiquitous features of the nethermost depths of Tarnesia, chemically brainwashed citizens praise Nyaala Lar's name on an hourly basis, and back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tarnesia's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shhhhhnwm.

Tarnesia is ranked 48,210^th in the world and 2^nd in New Karnaria for Highest Average Incomes, with 117,339.7 Standard Monetary Units.
