The Armed Republic of Taduwe 1 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 6.964 billion Taduwe 1ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Taduwe 1ian economy, worth 318 trillion Violetist cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,721 Violetist cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taduwe 1's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Taduwe 1 is ranked 205,746^th in the world and 171^st in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
