The Peoples Democratic Republic of Taosun is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairman Jing Heng with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.487 billion comrades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyoshyen. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The large but underdeveloped Tzuni economy, worth 261 trillion Labour Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. 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 an impressive 104,963 Labour Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chairman Jing Heng often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taosun's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jing Heng Cult of Personality.

Taosun is ranked 286,189^th in the world and 27^th in East Asia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
