The Syndicates of Tamarindia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Comrade-Presidenta Ixinia Bautista with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 29 billion Tamarindians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Misión. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tamarindo economy, worth 789 trillion Chelíns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,198 Chelíns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Comrade-Presidenta Ixinia Bautista has just been declared ruler of Tamarindia in an international press conference, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, militant atheism has been named as Tamarindia's national religion, and Tamarindia has designated Misión as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tamarindia's national animal is the Jumping Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is militant atheism.

Tamarindia is ranked 313,998^th in the world and 14^th in Deltic Waters for Most Politically Free, scoring zero on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
