The Marine Captain of Tashigi is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 8.906 billion Tashigians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 40.9%.

The strong Tashigian economy, worth 515 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,885 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Tashigi's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tashigi is ranked 135,306^th in the world and 495^th in Remembrance for Highest Average Incomes, with 57,885.57 Standard Monetary Units.
