The Union Socialist Empire of IndianRepublicofTanushland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Tenka Superdium the First with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.998 billion IRTians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eagle City. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.

The all-consuming IndianRepublicofTanushlandian economy, worth 465 trillion Social Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,528 Social Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and IndianRepublicofTanushlandian Gladiators is a ratings success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IndianRepublicofTanushland's national animal is the The Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sanatana Dharma.

IndianRepublicofTanushland is ranked 275,242^nd in the world and 111^th in India for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.38 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
