The Republic of Tavok is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Ilyra Solen with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.565 billion Tavs hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyyrik. The average income tax rate is 31.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Tav economy, worth a remarkable 5,510 trillion kovs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 332,685 kovs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Tav Liberator", terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime is totally unknown. Tavok's national animal is the cloudveil leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tavok is ranked 2,527^th in the world and 3^rd in Eurth for Most Developed, scoring 97.71 on the Human Development Index.
