The Holy Empire of Taromakan Empire is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 470 million Taromakans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Taromakan economy, worth 14.0 trillion Nones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,710 Nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're only as old as you feel, every week is blindness awareness week, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taromakan Empire's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Taromakan Empire is ranked 112,688^th in the world and 5,860^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,106.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
