The Allied States of Tamnation is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ranii Tamjii with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.297 billion Tamnationians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dil Daya. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tamnationian economy, worth 203 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 38,457 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tamnation's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tamnation is ranked 56,037^th in the world and 32^nd in India for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67 Effective Tax Rate.
