The Southern Empire of Taralania is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Adam I with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 20.418 billion Taralanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tarania. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Taralanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,430 trillion Taras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 216,970 Taras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Taralanian Moonshine", the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taralania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Godsiniaism.

Taralania is ranked 77,099^th in the world and 57^th in Aesica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,067.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
