The Protectorate of Taurus Concordat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Protector Richard Calderon with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.809 billion Taurians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samantha. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The thriving Taurian economy, worth a remarkable 1,147 trillion bulls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,417 bulls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,960 per year while the poor average 12,627, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, and the children of Taurus Concordat are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taurus Concordat's national animal is the bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deism.

Taurus Concordat is ranked 124,024^th in the world and 4^th in New California Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 654.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
