The Interior State of Tarvolta is a colossal, devout nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working population of 6.782 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. A substantial private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Soda Sales and Book Publishing.

A survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime is a problem. Tarvolta's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Not Stated, and its currency is the Lyra.

Tarvolta is ranked 5th in Equilibrium and 104,607th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 10 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
