The Social Democratic State of Tajwisk is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Provisional Government Assembly with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.541 billion Tajwiskans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ed Arabti. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tajwiskian economy, worth 761 trillion Ruhis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,384 Ruhis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign lack of enthusiasm for Tajwiskian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, Provisional Government Assembly claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs, and t-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tajwisk's national animal is the Uygh-Xin Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Traditional-Caterlanian Religion.

Tajwisk is ranked 296,548^th in the world and 1^st in The Isolation Room for Nicest Citizens, with 1.19 average smiles per day.
