The Republic of TAKTIC-40 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.619 billion TAKTIC-40ians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Public Transport, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.8%.

The strong TAKTIC-40ian economy, worth 546 trillion francs a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 51,459 francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. TAKTIC-40's national animal is the turtle.

TAKTIC-40 is ranked 158,935^th in the world and 1^st in New world confederation for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,843.73 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
