The Imperial State of Taliin is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Jorven Rhëzmiren with a fair hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.051 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 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Talinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,576 trillion Talinian Heriggs 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 common. Average income is an amazing 223,569 Talinian Heriggs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The comic book series 'Chancellor Jorven Rhëzmiren and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, and the Wolf is a protected species. 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 1,229^th in the world and 3^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Nicest Citizens, with 84.43 average smiles per day.
