The Community of Tagete is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.851 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, highschool principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime is totally unknown. Tagete's national animal is the Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Dinaro.

Tagete is ranked 37th in Wysteria and 11,503rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
