The Republic of El Toro de Taco is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 81 million El Toro de Tacoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The El Toro de Tacoan economy, worth 3.98 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 49,181 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers go to war dressed in cassocks and robes, Max Barry is this year's Miss El Toro de Taco, untold millions of Dollars are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, and a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Toro de Taco's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

El Toro de Taco is ranked 83,535^th in the world and 331^st in Concord for Safest, scoring 88.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
