The Allied States of Tamnation is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ranii Tamjii with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.2 billion Tamnationians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dil Daya. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tamnationian economy, worth 201 trillion Rupees 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 38,740 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tamnation's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tamnation is ranked 90,608^th in the world and 45^th in India for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,764.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
