The Incorporated Cities of Tallov is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Elom Nusk with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.918 billion Tallovians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newsec Incorporated City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tallovian economy, worth 480 trillion dernirs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 164,524 dernirs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,505,255 per year while the poor average 1,943, a ratio of 774 to 1.

Most Tallovians would sell their own grandmother, people are turning themselves into worm food, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, and praying at the office can see you terminated for napping. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tallov's national animal is the vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Economy.

Tallov is ranked 311,988^th in the world and 1,674^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -19.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
