The Gònghéguó of Tanbearia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.833 billion Tanbearis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xi'an. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tanbeari economy, worth 408 trillion Gold yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,343 Gold yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sly spies try to rely on national allies so that they don't die, tourists ask to stay in the same pleasant accommodations where foreign prisoners are kept, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanbearia's national animal is the Qīnglóng, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mínsú zōngjiào.

Tanbearia is ranked 258,874^th in the world and 5,232^nd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -184.56 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
