The House of Taldry is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Lord Taldryan with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.417 billion Taldryans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Taldryian economy, worth 987 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,333 Imperial Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, and living well is no longer the best kind of revenge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taldry's national animal is the Imperial Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Taldry is ranked 46,721^st in the world and 24^th in The Global Elite for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.87 Effective Tax Rate.
