The Stenchland of Tastarda is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by TemBo the Fierce with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.267 billion Tastardans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azul. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Tastardan economy, worth a remarkable 2,176 trillion Worthless Voucherdoneds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 119,159 Worthless Voucherdoneds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, fast food restaurants everywhere are under the control of a gigantic government corporation, the government is trying to clean up all the rubbish that has washed up on the shores of Bigtopia and Marche Noire, and stoogery and pratfalls are about as scathingly clever as Tastardan humor gets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tastarda's national animal is the Puma, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holier-Than-Thouism.
Tastarda is ranked 277,248th in the world and 2nd in Neu Saxet Nternationl Poytar for Most Stationary, with 7.76445336408 days.
