The Theocracy of Tallowcross is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The King with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.578 billion Tallowcrossians 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 government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tallowcross City. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tallowcrossian economy, worth 388 trillion Dimes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,744 Dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, heartwarming sentiments are even hotter now, there are no more heroes any more, and people are bored of easy crossword puzzles. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tallowcross's national animal is the Carrion Eater, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Tallowcross is ranked 202,932^nd in the world and 10^th in The Watchtower for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 287.48 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
