The Republic of Taco Respublic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.553 billion Taco Respublicians 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeppelin. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taco Respublician economy, worth a remarkable 2,121 trillion Shrooms euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,875 Shrooms euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taco Respublic's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Blue Öyster Cult.

Taco Respublic is ranked 156,642^nd in the world and 238^th in Forest for Most Extreme, scoring 16.29 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
