The State of Tamia Washington is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.237 billion Tamia Washingtonians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The thriving Tamia Washingtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,733 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,076 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 128,080 per year while the poor average 11,358, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Tamia Washington has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Tamia Washington in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tamia Washington's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tamia Washington is ranked 193,755^th in the world and 1^st in Arawa for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
