The Many Nomads of Taloren is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory vegetarianism, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.934 billion Talorenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sülüzer. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Talorenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,752 trillion Kuruşs a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 221,597 Kuruşs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam", Talorenians wonder "if a tree falls in the woods with no credible witnesses, who wants to know?", dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty, and Party members are derided as class traitors. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Taloren's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Taloren is ranked 332,292nd in the world and 46th in Rushmore for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -35.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
