The Republic of Tenkara is a small, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 40 million Tenkarans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.2%.

The strong Tenkaran economy, worth 2.18 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 54,510 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tenkara's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tenkara is ranked 134,561^st in the world and 1^st in Ethiopia for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
