The Protectorate of Tall Tale is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lunar Aurora with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.394 billion Tall Taleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Horsie. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tall Talean economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion Apples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,186 Apples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tall Tale's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Open Door.

Tall Tale is ranked 32,701st in the world and 1st in The InterRegional Trade Federation for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,084.75 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
