The Republic of Tacosstan is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 243 million Tacosstanians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 5.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tacosstanian economy, worth 17.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 72,411 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tacosstan's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tacosstan is ranked 281,348^th in the world and 10,511^th in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -13.78 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
