The Allied States of Talath-Dirnen is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and state-planned economy. The devout population of 7.476 billion Talath-Dirnenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Talath-Dirnenian economy, worth 341 trillion MPESAS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,647 MPESAS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown. Talath-Dirnen's national animal is the neutron, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Talath-Dirnen is ranked 256,036^th in the world and 178^th in ainulindale for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -7.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
