The Sovereign Domain of Tanksalot is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Overlord Tanksalot with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, rampant corporate plagiarism, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.305 billion Tanksalotians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tankton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Tanksalotian economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion Bottlecaps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,839 Bottlecaps, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 732,647 per year while the poor average 35,681, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, and real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanksalot's national animal is the Tarkus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tanksalot is ranked 82,161^st in the world and 21^st in Shinka for Most Extreme, scoring 25.74 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
