The Republic of Tanyaland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by George Louis Costanza with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.341 billion Tanyalandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capybarrio. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tanyalandian economy, worth 264 trillion Capycoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,998 Capycoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tanyaland's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tanyaland is ranked 52,069^th in the world and 1,062^nd in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,770.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
