Nation/Imperium of Tanith

The Time-Traveling Regiment of Imperium of Tanith is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alexander Valois with an iron fist, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.769 billion Imperiums of Tanithian 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanith Magna. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, religion is strictly forbidden within school grounds, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperium of Tanith's national animal is the Aquila, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Imperial Truth, and its currency is the Credit.
