The Federation of Tarabostes is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, cynical population of 289 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, the Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 99%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government snoops on private internet connections, the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, and every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarabostes's national animal is the sabertooth-tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the forlorn.

Tarabostes is ranked 39th in the region and 36,790th in the world for Rudest Citizens.
