The Republic of Tauron is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 817 million Taurons enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong Tauron economy, worth 54.9 trillion denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 67,242 denaris, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Tauron's national animal is the bull, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tauron is ranked 283,449^th in the world and 3^rd in MLSHS for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
