The Cra'ad Nation of Tanjeria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Serithrax with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.847 billion Tanjerians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tanjerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,259 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 415,396 bits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,599,740 per year while the poor average 7,715, a ratio of 466 to 1.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, anyone dissenting from the state ideology is declared "mentally ill" and whisked away in a straitjacket, heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors, and souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanjeria's national animal is the jagrilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Reptilianism.

Tanjeria is ranked 2,959^th in the world and 21^st in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Black Market, with 2,756 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
