The Rogue State of Tahar Joblis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by a complex mess of committees with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 47.378 billion Tahar Joblisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taharasopolissa. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Tahar Joblisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,732 trillion emuris a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,681 emuris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tahar Joblis's national animal is the giant pacific octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tahar Joblis is ranked 5,547^th in the world and 6^th in The Proletariat Coalition for Safest, scoring 128.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
