The Republic of Tanyaland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by George Louis Costanza with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.381 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 Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capybarrio. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tanyalandian economy, worth 264 trillion Capycoins a year, is fairly 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 110,887 Capycoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, and the Tanyaland Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanyaland's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tanyaland is ranked 13,000^th in the world and 236^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,862.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
