The Confederacy of Tanopia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 760 million Tanopenses are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanótlan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tanopian economy, worth 62.2 trillion Tanédes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 81,855 Tanédes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,887 per year while the poor average 13,438, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence, police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, and shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Tanopia's national animal is the Guanacô, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tanopia is ranked 275,107^th in the world and 13^th in Unidos Brasileiros for Most Pacifist, with 18.12 cheeks turned per day.
