The Magna Respublica of Taxos is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King nirushh and led by a Prime Minister with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.081 billion Taxosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venteno. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taxosian economy, worth 390 trillion Taxosian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 187,686 Taxosian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has embraced apartheid, coconut-half banging former royals skip around the countryside seeking gullible peasants to rule, conspiracy nuts claim that the government is trying to bring about an end to civilisation, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taxos's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Taxos is ranked 86,078th in the world and 11th in Novarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,468.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
