The Democratic Republic of Tranqulity is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 549 million Tranqulityians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 54.7%.

The sizeable but inefficient Tranqulityian economy, worth 26.6 trillion Peaces 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. 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 48,426 Peaces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, gambling is outlawed, families are only permitted to have one child, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tranqulity's national animal is the Голубь, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tranqulity is ranked 156,761^st in the world and 160^th in Lands End for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 701.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
