The Dominion of Targis is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Matthew XIV with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.094 billion Targanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mattopia. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Targanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,781 trillion Taurgs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,414 Taurgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been reports of people marrying housepets, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is totally unknown. Targis's national animal is the chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Targis is ranked 207,379^th in the world and 186^th in Refugia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
