The Imperial State of Taliin is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Jorven Rhëzmiren with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.982 billion Talinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helendus. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Talinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion Talinian Darins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 221,972 Talinian Darins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, and space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taliin's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Taliin is ranked 155,597^th in the world and 105^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 593.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
