The United Socialist States of The Empire of Tau is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.178 billion Tauans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kroot. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Empire of Tauan economy, worth a remarkable 1,730 trillion resourceses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 114,040 resourceses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in the Rejected Realms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Empire of Tau's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Empire of Tau is ranked 29,219th in the world and 727th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
