The Right-Hand Man of Tatics is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Venus Altair Echo with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.08 billion Taticsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Logic City. The average income tax rate is 48.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Taticsian economy, worth 591 trillion arils a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,095 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Taticsians like vultures, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, Logic City consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tatics's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Logic.

Tatics is ranked 251,639^th in the world and 1,031^st in ArilCards Inc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
