The Nomadic Peoples of The Tasty is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Charlie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.168 billion Tastyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cambridge. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Tastyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,916 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 157,536 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and life is somewhat repetitive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Tasty's national animal is the Potato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Tasty is ranked 113,794^th in the world and 1^st in Ghosts of Harvard Square for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,914.69 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
