The City of Tacoma is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.431 billion Tacomans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 7.4%.

The Tacoman economy, worth 124 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 51,179 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Tacoma's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Tacoma is ranked 107,112^th in the world and 8^th in Washington for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,543.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
