The Lengthy Winding Treks of Taungu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Shwenankyawshin with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.13 billion Taunguans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mandalay. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Taunguan economy, worth a remarkable 2,980 trillion Gold Taus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 174,017 Gold Taus, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 922,485 per year while the poor average 17,372, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Taunguan stage setups, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taungu's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shibe.

Taungu is ranked 25,092nd in the world and 9th in Thaecia for Most Stationary, with 1,458.0823307156 days.
