The Republic of Tamarvand is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Grand Pooh-Bah Gilbert Sullivan with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, devout population of 6.873 billion Tamaraneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Demonsreach. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Tamaran economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 179,231 Liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, being The Grand Pooh-Bah Gilbert Sullivan has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tamarvand's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Foundationism.

Tamarvand is ranked 3,737^th in the world and 184^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 124.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
