The Principality of Taranima is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Princess Alexandra din Nordumar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 15.029 billion Taranimans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nortara. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Taraniman economy, worth 793 trillion Suverans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,791 Suverans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ghost regiments exist only on paper, traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taranima's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sacramo.

Taranima is ranked 82,227^th in the world and 7^th in Teremara for Highest Poor Incomes, with 37,353.77 Standard Monetary Units.
