The Colony of Tand is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 23.465 billion Tandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Tandian economy, worth 86.1 trillion Dimes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 3,667 Dimes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tand's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Tand is ranked 105,045th in the world and 2,418th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 199.46 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
