The Sprawling Dominion of Tappee is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Abigail York with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, feral children, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 46.571 billion Tappeeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grathmoras. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Tappeean economy, worth an astonishing 16,879 trillion electronic tappeens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 362,441 electronic tappeens, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,949,143 per year while the poor average 35,102, a ratio of 55.5 to 1.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Tappeeans make research institutes rich, shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tappee's national animal is the Trazyuk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Manichaesim.

Tappee is ranked 4,435^th in the world and 124^th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 86.77 flags saluted per person per day.
