The Republic of TAKTIC-69 is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, devout population of 10.496 billion TAKTIC-69ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.2%.

The thriving TAKTIC-69ian economy, worth 970 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,481 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and people are turning themselves into worm food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TAKTIC-69's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TAKTIC-69 is ranked 121,951^st in the world and 1^st in Namaka for Highest Drug Use, scoring 136.25 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
