The Rogue State of Tahar Joblis is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by a complex mess of committees with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 22.439 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taharasopolissa. The average income tax rate is 79%, 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 government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tahar Joblis's national animal is the giant pacific octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the emuri.

Tahar Joblis is ranked 10th in The Proletariat Coalition and 16,486th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
