The Taiwanese Republic of Taiqar is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Tsai Ingwen with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.827 billion Taiqarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taipei. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taiqarian economy, worth 789 trillion Yuan a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,492 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taiqar's national animal is the Tigr, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Taiqar is ranked 206,742^nd in the world and 519^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
