The Third Republic of Takiv is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Navke Tovar with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.381 billion Takivaj 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 minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Healthcare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtaz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Takivaj economy, worth 366 trillion vesmars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 57,306 vesmars, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Takiv's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Takiv is ranked 159,773^rd in the world and 64^th in The Western Isles for Most Primitive, scoring -57.1 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
