The Republic of Tadacqo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 225 million Tadacqoans 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.

The tiny, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tadacqoan economy, worth 11.9 trillion Neruiahs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,683 Neruiahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government pours millions of Neruiahs into rehabilitation programs annually, soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and prison overcrowding is being addressed with a series of short sharp shocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tadacqo's national animal is the Radioactive Bazooka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tadacqo is ranked 233,588^th in the world and 4,763^rd in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 702.88 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
