The Most Serene Republic of Taeron is a mid-sized, cultured nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 62 million Taeronians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Taeronian economy, worth 2.85 trillion Taeras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,921 Taeras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, discarded pennies litter the streets, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taeron's national animal is the Taeronian Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taeron is ranked 140,568^th in the world and 145^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 451.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
