The Emirate of Tajah is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 139 million Tajahs are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Tajah economy, worth 10.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 76,327 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,569 per year while the poor average 10,680, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Begun the Clone Wars have, glamping Tajahs won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, and many in Tajah are born in the purple. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tajah's national animal is the viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tajah is ranked 296,531st in the world and 3,797th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 1.23 average smiles per day.
