The Violetist of Taduwe is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Taduwe with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.229 billion Taduweans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TEPgrad. The average income tax rate is 48.9%.

The all-consuming Taduwean economy, worth 955 trillion violetist dollars 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, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip 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 103,536 violetist dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Recognizing the Taduwean flag qualifies you for citizenship, caroling is considered a public disturbance, ill and injured visitors in Taduwe have to walk it off until they return home, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taduwe's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Taduwe is ranked 129,016^th in the world and 2,509^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
