The Holy Black Gold of Tarnesia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Nyaala Lar with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, digital currency, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.124 billion Taarrtaarrs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thaaaaar. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taarrtaarr economy, worth a remarkable 1,512 trillion Brwyns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,099 Brwyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rotary phones are considered cutting-edge technology, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, society is now confronted with the problem of the mage gap, and pinkie promises are a matter of life and death. Crime is totally unknown. Tarnesia's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shhhhhnwm.

Tarnesia is ranked 22,621^st in the world and 3^rd in New Karnaria for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,041.08 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
