The Commonwealth of Taegus is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 542 million Taegusians 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 Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The Taegusian economy, worth 28.7 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 53,030 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Taegus's national animal is the White Pelican, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Taegus is ranked 140,897^th in the world and 2^nd in Taegus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,234.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
