The Theocracy of Tarsonis is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Keslia Kast with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 13.511 billion Tarsonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elumarnia. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tarsonisian economy, worth 456 trillion Scripts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,780 Scripts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarsonis's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Tarsonis is ranked 231,394^th in the world and 4^th in The Koprulu Sector for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
