The State of TATRUM is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.996 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viktoria. The average income tax rate is 57.3%.

The frighteningly efficient TATRUMian economy, worth 247 trillion Tatrum franks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,897 Tatrum franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, and seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts. 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 Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christians.

TATRUM is ranked 131,390^th in the world and 5,362^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 595.62 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
