The Gònghéguó of Tanbearia is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.917 billion Tanbearis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xi'an. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tanbeari economy, worth 420 trillion Gold yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,240 Gold yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, the aims of top-secret Tanbeari science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and fearful citizens watch their every move as does their government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanbearia's national animal is the Qīnglóng, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mínsú zōngjiào.

Tanbearia is ranked 160,401^st in the world and 4,206^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 8.07 flags saluted per person per day.
