The Incorporated States of Taskmasters is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Bligh with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.549 billion Taskmastersians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pointe-Noire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Taskmastersian economy, worth 324 trillion Commissary Scrips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 71,316 Commissary Scrips, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 257,896 per year while the poor average 14,074, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

Most pop videos prominently feature the Taskmastersian flag, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and Oppression has been named as Taskmasters's national religion. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Taskmasters's national animal is the Mule, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oppression.

Taskmasters is ranked 235,995^th in the world and 6^th in New Luxmembourgorn for Nicest Citizens, with 8.23 average smiles per day.
