The Bannorn of Thalatine is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bann Kiron vos Antaryon with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.779 billion Thalatineans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thala City. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Thalatinean economy, worth 176 trillion kamas 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,375 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and water fights now end with thousands dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thalatine's national animal is the spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vezkelios.

Thalatine is ranked 157,919^th in the world and 11^th in Monarchist and Democratic Alliance for Largest Black Market, with 108 billion Standard Monetary Units.
