The Republic of TAKTIC-49 is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 10.641 billion TAKTIC-49ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Public Transport, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The very strong TAKTIC-49ian economy, worth 513 trillion francs a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 48,192 francs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,928 per year while the poor average 5,035, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. TAKTIC-49's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

TAKTIC-49 is ranked 99,288^th in the world and 1^st in The fourth realm for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,276.82 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
