The Infinite Storyteller of Tanzaka is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Cassandra Adler with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.479 billion Tanzakans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rätswig. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tanzakan economy, worth a remarkable 1,796 trillion RaigleMarks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 327,929 RaigleMarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,485,677 per year while the poor average 44,412, a ratio of 33.5 to 1.

People who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables, genetic research is facing major headwinds, and retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanzaka's national animal is the Tanzakan Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kinzerian Cult of Personality.

Tanzaka is ranked 5,203rd in the world and 5th in Yggdrasil for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,546.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
