The Masses of Taikus is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Onodar Ausus with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.171 billion Taikusis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keskorta. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Taikusian economy, worth 381 trillion okroes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 73,710 okroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taikus's national animal is the dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Taikus is ranked 35,287^th in the world and 1^st in Absurdistan for Highest Drug Use, scoring 326.36 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
