The Empire of Tarasovka is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Vasilevs of all Taraskovya with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 45.504 billion Taraskovyans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vigvar. The average income tax rate is 6.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Taraskovyan economy, worth an astonishing 15,715 trillion Taraskovyan francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 345,359 Taraskovyan francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, Black Wolf is one of the most popular forenames in Tarasovka, most citizens in Tarasovka are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, and repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events. Crime is totally unknown. Tarasovka's national animal is the Black Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Taraskovyan Orthodoxy.

Tarasovka is ranked 315,468^th in the world and 7^th in The Vast for Most Primitive, scoring -1132.33 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
