The Republic of Taustrian 174th Garrison is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 645 million Taustrian 174th Garrisonians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The strong Taustrian 174th Garrisonian economy, worth 25.5 trillion nones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 39,492 nones, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,530 per year while the poor average 2,475, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Taustrian 174th Garrison's national animal is the panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
