The Matriarch's District of Tarro is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 44.798 billion Tarroans 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 87.6%.

The very strong Tarroan economy, worth a remarkable 2,787 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 62,221 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarro's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tarro is ranked 276,113^th in the world and 1^st in Tarro for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
