The Dominion of Targis is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Matthew XIV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 27.225 billion Targanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mattopia. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Targanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,155 trillion Taurgs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,085 Taurgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, clairvoyants and soothsayers find fellowship at their local McRonalds, and Mattopia consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors. Crime is totally unknown. Targis's national animal is the chimera, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Targis is ranked 2,043^rd in the world and 25^th in Refugia for Safest, scoring 143.41 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
