The Commonwealth of Takkaviita XXXVIII is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 4.351 billion Takkaviita XXXVIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The Takkaviita XXXVIIIian economy, worth 188 trillion euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 43,364 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Takkaviita XXXVIII's national animal is the swan.

Takkaviita XXXVIII is ranked 205,774^th in the world and 6^th in Axis of Absurdity for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
