The High Lakanship of Talampunay is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.397 billion Talampunes 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 tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maeyit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Talampunic economy, worth 163 trillion enormous stone coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Gambling. Average income is 67,958 enormous stone coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

It needn't take a lot of snot and tears to fix a problem, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Talampunay's national animal is the Douglas' oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is anidu.

Talampunay is ranked 29,449^th in the world and 2^nd in Rhaea for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,346.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
