The Rogue Nation of Taive is a large, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 69 million Taiveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Taivean economy, worth 2.86 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,509 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A third of Taiveans are e-certified CEOs, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, third world countries are rich in "I Love Taive City" t-shirts, and the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Taive's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taive is ranked 160,849^th in the world and 212^th in Refugia for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 224.27 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
