The Holy Empire of TacWaffles is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Waffleson The Great with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.061 billion TacWafflesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prince Polo. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong TacWafflesian economy, worth 211 trillion Andruts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 69,216 Andruts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The old neighbourhood isn't how most TacWafflesians remember it, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, and the government pours millions of Andruts into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TacWaffles's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TacWaffles is ranked 131,570^th in the world and 4,600^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 33,293.08 Standard Monetary Units.
