The Armed Republic of Tayner is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.054 billion Plebs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red City. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Taynerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,053 trillion Gold Coins 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. 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 152,272 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, and hospitals in Tayner are too busy serving the needs of Balder to see Plebs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tayner's national animal is the Pelican, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tayner is ranked 176,237th in the world and 3,851st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 87.50100649932 days.
