The Dominion of Targis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Matthew XIV with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.526 billion Targanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mattopia. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Targanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,204 trillion Taurgs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,206 Taurgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians no longer click with dating app matches, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime is totally unknown. Targis's national animal is the chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Targis is ranked 14,599th in the world and 98th in Refugia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
