The People's Republic of Tavalisi is a tiny, cultured nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 10 million Tavalisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Tavalisian economy, worth 206 billion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 20,620 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and the WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tavalisi's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tavalisi is ranked 290,666^th in the world and 2,397^th in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 47.5 on the Human Development Index.
