The Federation of Tarabostes is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 363 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded 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 100%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, and people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed. 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 66th in the region and 62,342nd in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.
