The Community of Tantia is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.468 billion Tantians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hydra. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tantian economy, worth 599 trillion florins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,318 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It turns out that the government can have your guns by prying them out of your warm living hands, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and there's more vermin than ever on the metro. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tantia's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tantia is ranked 13,040th in the world and 221st in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,932.3241799784 days.
