The Republic of Tarrinian is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 8.055 billion Tarrinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarkelk. The average income tax rate is 80.9%.

The powerhouse Tarrinian economy, worth 800 trillion Gerbils a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 99,367 Gerbils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarrinian's national animal is the Mountain Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tarrinian is ranked 15,545^th in the world and 953^rd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 132.79 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
