The Empire of Tangora is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Her Royal Majesty Queen Laura Roslin with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 19.585 billion Tangorans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fairbanks. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tangoran economy, worth a remarkable 1,628 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,142 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tangora's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tangora is ranked 243,844^th in the world and 1,489^th in 10000 Islands for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.35 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
