The People's Senate of Great Tarsia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Consul Aloysius Ignatius Loliga Siluanus with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.431 billion Tarsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarsipolis. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Tarsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion royals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 152,473 royals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Consul Aloysius Ignatius Loliga Siluanus, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, and Consul Aloysius Ignatius Loliga Siluanus's reputation is hard as nails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Tarsia's national animal is the harpy eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jovitism.
