The Most Serene Republic of Tarrowfield is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 9 million Tarrowfieldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Tarrowfieldian economy, worth 295 billion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,846 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, it's illegal to be caught on tape, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarrowfield's national animal is the flying emu, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tarrowfield is ranked 98,004^th in the world and 427^th in Concord for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.83 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
