The State of Takla is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete lack of prisons. The democratic population of 32.818 billion Taklans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 9.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Taklan economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion betales a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,666 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, and bleach is the nation's most common pesticide. Crime is relatively low. Takla's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Takla is ranked 200,443^rd in the world and 5^th in Senegal for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,432.59 Standard Monetary Units.
