The Republic of Tantrua is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mr jackie with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.078 billion maniacs 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dream Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The strong Tantruan economy, worth 64.2 trillion Jackies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,542 Jackies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,515 per year while the poor average 15,272, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, rubbing salt into wounds is seen as a good thing if it is 100% organic garlic-and-thyme salt, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Mr jackie's throne, and Mr jackie has just been declared ruler of Tantrua in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tantrua's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tantrua is ranked 126,387^th in the world and 292^nd in United Kingdom for Safest, scoring 71.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
