The United Kingdom of Taboa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Maximillian with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 4.611 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forshire. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

International tensions are high as Taboa threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taboa's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Neo-Taboan Catholicism, and its currency is the Taboan Pound.

Taboa is ranked 91st in Gay and 93,610th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 12 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
