The Taiwanese Republic of Taiqar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Tsai Ingwen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.847 billion Taiqarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taipei. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taiqarian economy, worth 794 trillion Yuan a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,923 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, many politicians are having to do a hard day's work for the first time in their careers, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiqar's national animal is the Tigr, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Taiqar is ranked 6,345^th in the world and 123^rd in 10000 Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 191.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
