The Dominion of Telverian League is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Lothar Vaespheryn with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.531 billion Telverians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gloomhaven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Telverian Leaguean economy, worth 184 trillion Gilded Trelms a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 73,058 Gilded Trelms, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,603 per year while the poor average 14,902, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing King Lothar Vaespheryn to progressive thinkers, Telverian League has designated Gloomhaven as its capital city, and King Lothar Vaespheryn has just been declared ruler of Telverian League in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Telverian League's national animal is the Darkwater Nyther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Telverian League is ranked 13,305^th in the world and 1^st in Sallune for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,987.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
