The House of Taldry is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Taldryan with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.483 billion Taldryans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Taldryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,005 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 183,472 Imperial Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, Lord Taldryan isn't a national brand, commemoration of the Great The Global Elite War costs almost as much as the war itself, and AI management double books government press conferences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taldry's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Taldry is ranked 54,071^st in the world and 30^th in The Global Elite for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,039.32 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
