The Republic of Tangfennu is a very large, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 353 million Tangfennuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Tangfennuan economy, worth 5.62 trillion TFD$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 15,915 TFD$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, supervisors in Tangfennu commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, a century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, and political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tangfennu's national animal is the Tui, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tangfennu is ranked 248,858^th in the world and 3,981^st in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 15,374.19 Standard Monetary Units.
