The Republic of Tancy is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 459 million Tancyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.0%.

The powerhouse Tancyian economy, worth 40.3 trillion Bombs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 87,794 Bombs, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

The running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, and a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tancy's national animal is the Sharon The Slave x Owion The Onion 4ever, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tancy is ranked 51,097^th in the world and 5^th in Antisipation Refounded for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,836.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
