The Federation of Tampaja Lake is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, devout population of 1.156 billion Tampaja Lakeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 27.1%.

The thriving Tampaja Lakean economy, worth 95.3 trillion gambles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,396 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tampaja Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tampaja Lake is ranked 95,153^rd in the world and 144^th in Lakes in Finland for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,949.64 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
