The Free Land of Taranagout is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 115 million Taranagoutians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Taranagoutian economy, worth 5.48 trillion Pound sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,633 Pound sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, astronauts take one small step for Taranagout and one giant step backward from confrontation, government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, and fruit pickers with degrees in Cat psychology are a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taranagout's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Taranagout is ranked 161,574th in the world and 2nd in Vano Aik Imperium for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,745.95 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
