The Federal republic of Tatrum is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Malega with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.459 billion Tatrumians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wiktoria. The average income tax rate is 70.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tatrumian economy, worth 535 trillion Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 154,867 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, ratings for schools' curricula range from 'Pure as the Driven Snow' to 'Late Night TV', most towns have their President Malega High School located on President Malega Street, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tatrum's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christians.

Tatrum is ranked 227,457^th in the world and 1,108^th in Europe for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.76 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
