The Federation of Tageszentia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aparicio Varela with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.048 billion Tageszentians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ushwaia. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Tageszentian economy, worth 45.7 trillion australs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,603 australs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tageszentia's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tageszentia is ranked 38,315^th in the world and 208^th in Refugia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 43.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
