The Taiwanese Republic of Taiqar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsai Ingwen with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 4.817 billion Taiqarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taipei. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taiqarian economy, worth 784 trillion Yuan a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 162,949 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the government pours millions of Yuan into rehabilitation programs annually, destitute athletes are forced to train in the street, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiqar's national animal is the Tigr, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Taiqar is ranked 263,354^th in the world and 688^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
