The People's Republic of Tacos Republic is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 540 million Tacos Republicians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 31.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tacos Republician economy, worth 12.7 trillion TacoBells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,596 TacoBells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests, heroes long thought dead are promptly killed upon their return, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Tacos Republic's new capital, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime is totally unknown. Tacos Republic's national animal is the Tacos, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tacos Republic is ranked 268,346^th in the world and 14^th in New Mexico for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
