The Federal republic of Tatranian is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Fansu Fangpyre with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.344 billion Tatranians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orlo. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tatranian economy, worth 326 trillion Libreses a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,507 Libreses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Tatranian Space Agency, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, and superfoods are often seen as supervillains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tatranian's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is no official religion.

Tatranian is ranked 22,738^th in the world and 33^rd in The Social Liberal Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
