The Kingdom of Tartessia is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14 million Tartessians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The very strong Tartessian economy, worth 861 billion Maravedis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,510 Maravedis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,624 per year while the poor average 15,760, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, military spending is on the increase, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tartessia's national animal is the Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tartessia is ranked 275,618^th in the world and 27^th in Fallout Genesis for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
