Tashkveny is a country that participates in the Internatia Song Contest. Formerly being one of only 5 countries to compete in every Contest, the country took a break after their 8th participation, but returned for Internatia Song Contest 10. Despite mixed fortunes for Tashkveny over the various Contests, interest remains high, and viewing figures are some of the largest that both TBC and NBC have throughout the year, including a record 57.2 million viewers, or 79% viewing share, watching during the 4th Internatia Song Contest, where Tashkveny was beaten into 2nd place, scoring 17 points less than eventual winners, Sibinia.
Tashkveny has also had a few issues with disqualifications, which have plagued its entries ever since their first participation in the Internatia Song Contest. Towards the end of ISC 1, Invertulloch suffered a massive powercut, meaning that Tashken televoters could not vote for their favourite songs, and the backup Jury could not contact Spirevo to present their votes. If disqualification did not occur, Tashkveny would have placed joint 2nd, along with hosts Spirevo. Tashkveny has also been disqualified for three consecutive decisions, namely ISC 6, 7 and 8. Tashkveny's disqualification during ISC 8, due to internal mismanagement at TBC, was particularly painful for the Tashken public, as Mànran had placed 3rd in their Semi Final, guaranteeing qualification into the final. Public enquiries were held into why this disqualification occurred, and, as a result, Tashkveny would be absent for ISC 9, held in 
Saint Eva & Lepland.
Throughout the years, Tashkveny has been shown to be more successful when using its 2nd and 3rd most spoken languages, French and Scottish Gaelic respectively. Entries in the English language are not as successful as it was hoped they'd be, and TBC plans to stick with these languages for the forseeable future, excluding their entry for ISC 12, which will be in the English language.
