The Republic of Tamarvand is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Grand Pooh-Bah Gilbert Sullivan with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 6.923 billion Tamaraneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Demonsreach. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Tamaran economy, worth a remarkable 1,241 trillion Liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 179,358 Liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, the national Police Academies have dedicated infant wings, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and the government is encouraging violence on television. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tamarvand's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Foundationism.

Tamarvand is ranked 289,606^th in the world and 6,287^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -630.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
