The Rogue Nation of Taxidea Taxus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Badger Bob with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.546 billion Taxideans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sett. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Taxidean economy, worth a remarkable 5,736 trillion Chunks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 346,673 Chunks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, Big Belly is watching you, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, and the tomato-covered corpses that decorate the nation's cities are a favourite amongst morbid tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taxidea Taxus's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Badger Bobism.

Taxidea Taxus is ranked 7,127th in the world and 2nd in Global Defense Brotherhood for Most Stationary, with 2,775.09935587972 days.
