The Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Kommodos III with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 24.114 billion Tagmatines enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tagmatika. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tagmatine economy, worth a remarkable 5,334 trillion Hyperpyron Sterlings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 221,210 Hyperpyron Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tagmatium's national animal is the Landfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Iconoclastic Orthodox Church.
