The Dominion of Talalunson is a small, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Asteroid population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 32 million Talalunsonians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Talalunsonian economy, worth 1.95 trillion Ubertasian Denariis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,861 Ubertasian Denariis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,961 per year while the poor average 16,048, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, genetic researchers have been expelled, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Talalunson's national animal is the Asteroid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Talalunson is ranked 125,318^th in the world and 271^st in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 60,861.58 Standard Monetary Units.
