The Unified Tribal Republic of Tawir is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Josh Bireham with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.238 billion Tawirians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nakuru. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tawirian economy, worth 917 trillion Tawirian Shillings a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,104 Tawirian Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Josh Bireham's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, surveillance cameras are banned, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tawir's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None yet Christianity is most present.

Tawir is ranked 4,227^th in the world and 2^nd in Africa for Highest Food Quality, scoring 219.46 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
