The Fruitless Nascency of Tartana is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Guy with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 1.956 billion Tartans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tartaniard economy, worth 249 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 127,696 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Large sections of Tartana have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, playground injuries are considered academic progress, The Guy is worshipped as a god, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tartana's national animal is the fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is God.
Tartana is ranked 3,301st in the world and 97th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 56.31 average smiles per day.
