The Republic of Taco Respublic is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.627 billion Taco Respublicians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeppelin. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taco Respublician economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 trillion Shrooms euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,741 Shrooms euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, every week is blindness awareness week, and economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism. Crime is totally unknown. 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 184,600^th in the world and 331^st in Forest for Most Primitive, scoring -204.22 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
