The Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Filippos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 47.255 billion Tagmatines are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tagmatika. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tagmatine economy, worth an astonishing 11,564 trillion Hyperpyron Nomismata a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 244,723 Hyperpyron Nomismata, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The banhammer is a standard police sidearm, helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, organ donation is compulsory, and animated characters are allowed to stab each other but not hold hands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tagmatium's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Enlightened Aroman Church.

Tagmatium is ranked 20,216^th in the world and 14^th in Eurth for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 307.79 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
