The Lengthy Winding Treks of Taungu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Shwenankyawshin with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.352 billion Taunguans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mandalay. The average income tax rate is 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Taunguan economy, worth a remarkable 3,029 trillion Gold Taus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 174,578 Gold Taus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Taunguan stage setups, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taungu's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shibe.

Taungu is ranked 129,541st in the world and 168th in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 68.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
