The Republic of Tanyaland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by George Louis Costanza with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.231 billion Tanyalandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capybarrio. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tanyalandian economy, worth 253 trillion Capycoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,547 Capycoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, Tanyalandians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, the Tanyalandian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and solid-gold toilets are Tanyalandian prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tanyaland's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tanyaland is ranked 36,644^th in the world and 856^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
