The Republic of Taberland is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.506 billion Taberlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Taberlandian economy, worth 390 trillion Tabs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,426 Tabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wandering Taberlandians are known for their one-track minds, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and international commentators accuse the nation of aggressive cultural imperialism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taberland's national animal is the Sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taberland is ranked 162,070^th in the world and 56^th in International Democratic Union for Largest Populations, with 3.51 billion capita.
