The State of Tai Palace is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.57 billion Tai Palaceans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Tai Palacean economy, worth 202 trillion betales 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 17,524 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, genetic researchers have been expelled, Harry Potter books are banned, and most academic research has ground to a halt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tai Palace's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tai Palace is ranked 143,508th in the world and 8th in Mountbatten for Most Stationary, with 187.31440789648 days.
