The Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Kommodos III with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 42.101 billion Tagmatines are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tagmatika. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tagmatine economy, worth an astonishing 10,245 trillion Hyperpyron Nomismata a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 243,358 Hyperpyron Nomismata, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Tagmatines like vultures, and police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tagmatium's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Enlightened Aroman Church.

Tagmatium is ranked 281,530th in the world and 361st in Eurth for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
