“We shall know no fear”

The Colony of Tau kind is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shas'O Bright Shield with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.397 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnus Primus. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Gambling and Arms Manufacturing.

Skateparks can be found in every city, the government seizes all major gold finds, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tau kind's national animal is the Krootox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Credit.

Tau kind is ranked 169th in the region and 7,705th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
