The Republic of Tangosia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Yassine Auclair with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.472 billion Tangosians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alberta. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tangosian economy, worth 185 trillion Tangosian rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,224 Tangosian rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, autocrats are persona non grata, and cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tangosia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tangosia is ranked 18,324^th in the world and 34^th in Anteria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 122.44 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
