The Reincarnated Empire of Tanushland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Grishma Harris with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.311 billion Tanushlandiers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TanushCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Tanushlandian economy, worth 891 trillion T-Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,833 T-Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 873,097 per year while the poor average 17,423, a ratio of 50.1 to 1.

Grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and nose plugs are the latest Tanushlandian fashion accessory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanushland's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Tanushland is ranked 151,649^th in the world and 3,250^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 407.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
