The Republic of TAKTIC-86 is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.327 billion TAKTIC-86ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.7%.

The powerhouse TAKTIC-86ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,088 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,365 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, voting is voluntary, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TAKTIC-86's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TAKTIC-86 is ranked 58,819^th in the world and 1^st in Vanth for Highest Average Incomes, with 105,365.55 Standard Monetary Units.
