The United States of Tankilers is a small, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 26 million Tankilersians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Tankilersian economy, worth 918 billion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,312 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tankilers's national animal is the Dog.

Tankilers is ranked 198,980^th in the world and 2,861^st in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 6.82 flags saluted per person per day.
