The Democratic Republic of Tanoas is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.828 billion Tanoasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tanoasian economy, worth 88.0 trillion Tanis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,128 Tanis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, voting district maps are said to resemble a tyrannosaurus eating the capital, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and prison visits increase substantially during election years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanoas's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tanoas is ranked 106,290^th in the world and 4,433^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,701.4 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
