The Federal Republic of Tailtearsa is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 85 million Tailtearsans 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tailtearsan economy, worth 5.04 trillion Pios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,312 Pios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon, coat closets are being re-branded as bedrooms, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tailtearsa's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tailtearsa is ranked 71,607^th in the world and 54^th in Geopolity for Safest, scoring 93.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
