Tahar Joblis

Tahar Joblis is one of the older nations of NationStates, and a socialist nation resident to The Proletariat Coalition. Tahar Joblis is also known to be a moderator under another name, which is one of the various Worst Kept Secrets of NationStates, or possibly one of the Best Kept Non-Secrets of NationStates.

Tahar Joblis played a particularly prominent role in the Amerigan War, "accidentally" detonating a small nuclear device which destroyed a submersible aircraft carrier deployed by Yavin. Of particular note, Tahar Joblis has often loomed ominously and engaged in relatively few wars, the Allanean War, the Amerigan War, and a brief conflict with Rukemia notwithstanding.

Tahar Joblis is perhaps best known for its vast oceanic territorial claims, seaweed farming, startling modern navy, the incredibly comprehensive Tahar Joblissan Bureaucracy, and its highly educated but materially poor residents. It has often had relatively unusual allies in addition to those that might be ideologically anticipated. Allies over the course of history have included (situationally or in the long term) the BlackWolf Order, EOTED, Pure Evil, Pilot, Edolia, Rukemia, Isla de Penguinata, Amerigo, and some (but not all) members of the Triumvirate of Yut, most notably including Karmabaijan and Scolopendra.
