The Impostor of Taduwe is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.105 billion Taduweans 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, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 41.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Taduwean economy, worth 198 trillion violetist dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,494 violetist dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Taduwe after the ban on emigration was lifted, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and business is banging at no-tell motels. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taduwe's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Taduwe is ranked 44,085^th in the world and 1,452^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 3,003.96 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
