The Colony of TAPONE33 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 13.597 billion TAPONE33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient TAPONE33ian economy, worth 582 trillion Citas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,830 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TAPONE33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

TAPONE33 is ranked 90,589^th in the world and 1,827^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Armed, with 0.5 weapons per person.
