The Republic of Taepyeong is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Jin Soo-hyun with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 12.427 billion Taepyeongians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyeongtaek. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taepyeongian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion Taepyeongian won a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,042 Taepyeongian won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting the best Taepyeongian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, and online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taepyeong's national animal is the Siberian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Taepyeong is ranked 238,209th in the world and 18th in La La La Land for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 20,501.14 Standard Monetary Units.
