The Republic of Taun C is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.279 billion Taun Cians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Taun Cian economy, worth 124 trillion taus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,671 taus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The most commonly-worn shoes are concrete ones, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, and a lack of funding for new shows has turned television into 24/7 re-runs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taun C's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Taun C is ranked 265,094^th in the world and 14,585^th in Balder for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 469.53 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
