The The Enclave of Tanolap is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by king Alfred I with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.839 billion Tanolapians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of tyania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.0%.

The very strong Tanolapian economy, worth 127 trillion Tano quads a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,224 Tano quads, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

It's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, the number of children one can have is restricted by law, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, and religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanolap's national animal is the pigen, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is The church of Tanolap.
