Tanaland, a fictional country conceived entirely by women and off-limits to men, has emerged as a significant trend on TikTok.

This virtual nation represents a space where women can feel completely free from male oppression, declaring themselves liberated from patriarchy.

The trend often features the catchy refrain « Tana Tana Tana » from rapper Niska’s song « Matuidi Charo. »

Origin of the Name « Tanaland »

The term « Tanaland » derives from « Tana, » a word used by some men on social networks to insult women. The creators of Tanaland reclaimed this term, turning it into a symbol of empowerment and a counter to the derogatory usage.

This reappropriation reflects a broader movement of taking back control and redefining narratives that have been used against them.

Characteristics of Tanaland

Tanaland is already equipped with its own flag, a capital city named Tana City, and even a specific passport required for entry.

The country boasts a population of over 18 million and enjoys a climate that is perfect for sunbathing year-round.

Proposals for a national anthem are also under consideration, adding to the nation’s cultural identity.

Governance and Political Structure

The government of Tanaland includes influencers like ToomuchLucile, with influencer Polska having announced her candidacy for the presidency of Tanaland.

Currently, a debate is ongoing on social media regarding whether visas should be issued to men who support the cause, which highlights the inclusive yet cautious approach to their governance.
