The Taiwanese Republic of Taiqar is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tsai Ingwen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.841 billion Taiqarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taipei. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taiqarian economy, worth 791 trillion Yuan a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,540 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiqar's national animal is the Tigr, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Taiqar is ranked 43,481^st in the world and 163^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 48.62 kickbacks per hour.
