The Republic of Tancy is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 32 million Tancyians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Tancyian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Bombs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,981 Bombs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Tancy's national animal is the Sharon The Slave, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tancy is ranked 227,660^th in the world and 4^th in Diffyliffy for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.16 kickbacks per hour.
