The People's Republic of Tanzaka is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 436 million Tanzakans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 63.7%.

The powerhouse Tanzakan economy, worth 41.6 trillion Rakzes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,357 Rakzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, the government has the power to seize property at will, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and citizens know not to ask what their country can do for them but what they can do as chained slaves for their country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanzaka's national animal is the Marzor, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tanzaka is ranked 214,091^st in the world and 718^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 30.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
