The Republic of Taustrian 211th Garrison is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 306 million Taustrian 211th Garrisonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Taustrian 211th Garrisonian economy, worth 7.87 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 25,712 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taustrian 211th Garrison's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Taustrian 211th Garrison is ranked 106,643^rd in the world and 1^st in The Protestant Library for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 834.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
