The Republic of TAKTIC-04 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.543 billion TAKTIC-04ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The strong TAKTIC-04ian economy, worth 562 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 53,393 guilders, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,200 per year while the poor average 3,705, a ratio of 89.4 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme, Leader has just been declared ruler of TAKTIC-04 in an international press conference, and TAKTIC-04 recently decided against having a capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. TAKTIC-04's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

TAKTIC-04 is ranked 23,560^th in the world and 1^st in Laotis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,945.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
