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 ubiquitous missile silos, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 46.06 billion Tahar Joblisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taharasopolissa. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Tahar Joblisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,513 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 54,568 emuris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public intoxication has decreased ever since fraternities were banned, 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, and board shorts have replaced board rooms. 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 11,791st in the world and 5th in The Proletariat Coalition for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,360.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
