The Jamhuri ya Muungano of Tanzania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Jakaya Kikwete with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 25.987 billion Tanzanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dodoma. The average income tax rate is 14.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tanzanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,683 trillion Shillings a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,277 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Tanzania, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, army rations are served on silver platters, and even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanzania's national animal is the white-bearded wildebeest, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Tanzania is ranked 232,203rd in the world and 7,059th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 24.19117896208 days.
