Nation/Imperium of Tanith

The Time-Traveling Regiment of Imperium of Tanith is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Alexander Valois with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.492 billion Imperials 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tanith Magna. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperium of Tanithian economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 211,101 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Amnesty Interregional has condemned Imperium of Tanith for ignoring crimes against humanity, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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, and its national religion is The Imperial Truth.
