The Republic of Taberland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 1.911 billion Taberlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Taberlandian economy, worth 181 trillion Tabs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 94,903 Tabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, voting is voluntary, and Taberland's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taberland's national animal is the Sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taberland is ranked 160,469^th in the world and 32^nd in International Democratic Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 464.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
