The Federal Republic of Tairoa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sophie Chen with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.025 billion Tairoans 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mari Nui. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Tairoan economy, worth 40.3 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,326 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, Sophie Chen seems to wear red a lot these days, and Sophie Chen has just been declared ruler of Tairoa in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tairoa's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tairoa is ranked 34,296^th in the world and 1,466^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 45.65 quips per hour.
