The Holy Queendom of Tagsylvania is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Invisibella with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, lack of airports, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.032 billion Tagsylvanians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 83.4%.

The Tagsylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,261 trillion Zollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,971 Zollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tagsylvania's national animal is the TAG student, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tagsylvania is ranked 301,286^th in the world and 27^th in Union of Allied Planets for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
