The Federation of Tasoland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Liberne with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.192 billion Tasolandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rirostad. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tasolandian economy, worth 126 trillion Tasonks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,909 Tasonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, and the New Tasolandian Thesaurus lists "love" and "oppress" as synonyms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tasoland's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Roman Catholic Church.

Tasoland is ranked 11,396^th in the world and 313^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 119.51 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
