The Kingdom of Taliin is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vartan Terzian with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.887 billion Talinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helendus. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Talinian economy, worth 299 trillion Arloes 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 158,559 Arloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even secular Talinians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", police are saying "bye book" to "by the book", and young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taliin's national animal is the Royal-hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Druaguism.

Taliin is ranked 9,074^th in the world and 19^th in The Kodiak Republic for Highest Food Quality, scoring 167.55 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
