The People's Republic of Tandralis

“Iron Will, Unto Dawn”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Tandralis is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 251 million Tandralisians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Tandralisian economy, worth 2.51 trillion Marks 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 10,012 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, artists are pillars of society, bars are packed at all hours, and environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tandralis's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tandralis is ranked 302,450^th in the world and 571^st in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 43.66 on the Human Development Index.
