The Republic of Taco Respublic is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 15.481 billion Taco Respublicians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taco Respublician economy, worth a remarkable 1,833 trillion Shrooms euros a year, is highly 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 118,461 Shrooms euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring. 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 8,267^th in the world and 72^nd in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 91.34 on the Human Development Index.
