The Rogue State of Tahar Joblis is a behemoth, safe nation, ruled by a complex mess of committees with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory vegetarianism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 51.268 billion Tahar Joblisians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taharasopolissa. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tahar Joblisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,219 trillion emuris a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,804 emuris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing numbers of children in Tahar Joblis have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Tahar Joblisian ambassadors, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tahar Joblis's national animal is the giant pacific octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tahar Joblis is ranked 327,612th in the world and 17,551st in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12.48 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
