The Empire of TayLos is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 611 million TayLosians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parton City. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient TayLosian economy, worth 35.3 trillion TayLosian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,837 TayLosian Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", alcoholism is the newest import from Dàguó, TayLos has designated Parton City as its capital city, and adulthood begins with the creation of an email account. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. TayLos's national animal is the Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TayLos is ranked 196,411^th in the world and 2,339^th in The East Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.17 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
