The Dominion of Talalunson is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Asteroid population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 138 million Talalunsonians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Talalunsonian economy, worth 8.40 trillion Ubertasian Denariis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,861 Ubertasian Denariis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,961 per year while the poor average 16,048, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, genetic researchers have been expelled, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Talalunson's national animal is the Asteroid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Talalunson is ranked 238,842^nd in the world and 443^rd in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 41.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
