The Peoples Democratic Republic of Taosun is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Jing Heng with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.52 billion comrades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyoshyen. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The large but underdeveloped Tzuni economy, worth 266 trillion Labour Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,610 Labour Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royal mothers accustomed to baby-talk assure the troops "we gweatly wespect your service; yes, we do", soldiers have a preference for fire-and-forget payloads, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taosun's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jing Heng Cult of Personality.

Taosun is ranked 161,409^th in the world and 1^st in Maoist China for Largest Populations, with 2.52 billion capita.
