The Cra'ad Nation of Tanjeria is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Lady Serithrax with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.424 billion Tanjerians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Tanjerian economy, worth a remarkable 5,356 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 468,889 bits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,770,278 per year while the poor average 13,374, a ratio of 281 to 1.

Apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", emergency responders spend more time in the air than giving air, and t-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tanjeria's national animal is the jagrilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reptilianism.

Tanjeria is ranked 68,175^th in the world and 78^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Developed, scoring 71.29 on the Human Development Index.
