The Commonwealth of Takkaviita CCXCVIII is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning swan population. The hard-working population of 5.067 billion Takkaviita CCXCVIIIians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The Takkaviita CCXCVIIIian economy, worth 196 trillion euros a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 38,869 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Takkaviita CCXCVIII's national animal is the swan.
