The People's Republic of Takataapui is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Te Kāhui o Takataapui with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.038 billion Takataapuians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pōneke. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Takataapuian economy, worth 68.2 trillion Taaras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,733 Taaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, and citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Takataapui's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Takataapui is ranked 36,642^nd in the world and 4^th in GOOD BOIs for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
