The Republic of Tagawhiri is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 74 million Tagawhirians 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 Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.3%.

The Tagawhirian economy, worth 2.78 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 37,618 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Tagawhiri's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tagawhiri is ranked 69,820^th in the world and 308^th in Concord for Nicest Citizens, with 16.29 average smiles per day.
