The Holy Yellow Dictatorship of Talitop is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.993 billion Talitopians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The powerhouse Talitopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 trillion Gold Coins 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 87,135 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, and dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talitop's national animal is the zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Talitop is ranked 26,476^th in the world and 15^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Corrupt Governments, with 80.67 kickbacks per hour.
