The Faralried of Talland is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.828 billion Tallandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Tallandian economy, worth 86.6 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 30,619 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police double as repo men, political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, and nobody knows why the caged giraffe sings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talland's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Talland is ranked 181,030^th in the world and 2^nd in Pallidrose Bay for Largest Populations, with 2.83 billion capita.
