The Mercenary Band of Talon Compani is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Commander Jabsco with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.214 billion Talon Companians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Bannister. The average income tax rate is 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Talon Companian economy, worth a remarkable 1,199 trillion Caps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 166,305 Caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, and mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talon Compani's national animal is the Wastelander, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Talonism.

Talon Compani is ranked 54,120th in the world and 6th in Shadow Realms for Most Stationary, with 814.7503813372 days.
