The Empire of Tannakristan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Tannakra with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.618 billion Tannakrans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Imperia. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tannakristanian economy, worth 993 trillion Imperial Credits 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 115,309 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Empress Tannakra is worshipped as a god, this year's hottest seller is plenary indulgence, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tannakristan's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Truth.

Tannakristan is ranked 50,768^th in the world and 3,172^nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
