The LOTR Nation of Tatarica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 46.416 billion Tataricans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tatarican economy, worth a remarkable 3,878 trillion Gold Coins a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,561 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, Blessed Horses have more rights than the average citizen, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tatarica's national animal is the Blessed Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tatarica is ranked 1,412^th in the world and 1^st in Middle Earth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,018.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
