The Social Republic of Tallone is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 610 million Talloneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myrmex. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Tallonean economy, worth 19.2 trillion Talloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 31,520 Talloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tallone has designated Myrmex as its capital city, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tallone's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tallone is ranked 21,426^th in the world and 1,077^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 22.3 average smiles per day.
