The Talk Show of Pokemon Talk is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Squirtle with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.001 billion Pokemon have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Studio Floor. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pokenian economy, worth 250 trillion Num-Nums a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,075 Num-Nums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shell-shocked refugees are made to provide Immigration with lively renditions of 'Dancing Queen', nothing gets the party jumping like Squirtle specifying how high, the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Pokenian Desert, and corporate 'hostile takeovers' now involve ICBMs and main battle tanks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pokemon Talk's national animal is the Bulbasaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arkoos-Helixism.

Pokemon Talk is ranked 67,845^th in the world and 29^th in The Labyrinth for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 170,651 Standard Monetary Units.
