The Taiwanese Republic of Taiqar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Tsai Ingwen with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.746 billion Taiqarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taipei. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taiqarian economy, worth 760 trillion Yuan a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,163 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the tightness of border controls in Taiqar leave a little to be desired, shooting someone has never been safer, and the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiqar's national animal is the Tigr, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Taiqar is ranked 7,979^th in the world and 110^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
