The Kingdom of Tacyant is a massive, genial nation, ruled by William Hodges with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.459 billion Tackis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cvacci. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tackyan economy, worth 89.6 trillion Corais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,430 Corais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, and motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tacyant's national animal is the Green Micro-Attack Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tacyant is ranked 228,492^nd in the world and 8,918^th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
