The Empire of Tay Swift is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Butterflies population. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.34 billion Tay Swiftians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 13 Islands. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong Tay Swiftian economy, worth 71.6 trillion TayTays a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 53,420 TayTays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise and Tay Swift has designated 13 Islands as its capital city. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tay Swift's national animal is the Butterflies, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tay Swift is ranked 223,816^th in the world and 39^th in Ocala for Most Patriotic, with 6.56 flags saluted per person per day.
