The Imperial State of Taliin is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Jorven Rhëzmiren with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7 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 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Talinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,554 trillion Talinian Darins 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,092 Talinian Darins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. 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 8,692^nd in the world and 10^th in The Kodiak Republic for Highest Average Incomes, with 222,092.69 Standard Monetary Units.
