The Republic of Takaram is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Anthony Price with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.211 billion Takarans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarakia. The average income tax rate is 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Takaran economy, worth a remarkable 3,432 trillion aurites a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 306,147 aurites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, there are increasing complaints that male AI assistants have aggressive voices, and planes with cockpit glass are reserved for the top pilots. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Takaram's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Takaram is ranked 321,964^th in the world and 17,455^th in Balder for Least Corrupt Governments, with 36 percentage of bribes refused.
