The Republic of Takiv is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Raznak Nogva with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.24 billion Takivaj hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtaz. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The strong Takivaj economy, worth 105 trillion vesmars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 47,154 vesmars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Takiv's national animal is the lion.

Takiv is ranked 269,131^st in the world and 129^th in The Western Isles for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
