The Dictatorship of Taravan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nikolaj Torson with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.891 billion Taravan are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UUH. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Taravanian economy, worth 64.8 trillion Kittens 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 Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 34,264 Kittens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taravan's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taravan is ranked 327,660^th in the world and 36^th in Valaryia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
