The Matriarchy of Taroneme Island is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Doctor Destruction with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.516 billion Taronemekave are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yutumivi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Taroneme Islander economy, worth a remarkable 4,282 trillion peris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 244,484 peris, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Vaccinations are mandatory, the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and netizens fiercely argue over who loves Doctor Destruction more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taroneme Island's national animal is the zwilnik, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Taroneme Island is ranked 36,759^th in the world and 23^rd in Rireinu for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,310.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
