The Remnant of Taledonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Protector Vollox with an even hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 41.476 billion Taledonians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taledon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Taledonian economy, worth an astonishing 13,819 trillion talons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 333,193 talons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,172,576 per year while the poor average 20,223, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Taledonian diplomacy is by the book, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Taledonia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Taledonia is ranked 29,382^nd in the world and 7^th in The Milky Way Galaxy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
