The Commonwealth of Talishep is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Father with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 32.659 billion Talishepians 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 prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pilgrim's Rest. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Talishepian economy, worth a remarkable 6,945 trillion Flotillas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 212,681 Flotillas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talishep's national animal is the Bosh'tet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Talishep is ranked 65,362^nd in the world and 3,353^rd in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,535.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
