The Isle of Talismantia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lady Raheel Yaska with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.297 billion Talismantians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shaclarke. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.
The strong Talismantian economy, worth 290 trillion ferroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 67,512 ferroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
Lady Raheel Yaska has just been declared ruler of Talismantia in an international press conference, Tehom-Elism has been named as Talismantia's national religion, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Talismantia's national animal is the spider crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Tehom-Elism.
Talismantia is ranked 65,669th in the world and 1st in Red Front for Most Stationary, with 736.50503558092 days.
