“Task Force Phoenix”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Tachycardia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.043 billion Tachycardians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denial. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tachycardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,085 trillion Coronaries a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,274 Coronaries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, airport security is provided by private companies, there is a dearth of space for new houses, and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tachycardia's national animal is the Woolly Sycophant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tachycardia is ranked 26,560^th in the world and 1,635^th in Balder for Largest Governments, scoring 28.07 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
