The Talon Republic of Frailty is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by John Kurdistan with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.053 billion Frail enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Education, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amed. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Frail economy, worth 449 trillion TaloCoins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 88,888 TaloCoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, everybody's got wood thanks to John Kurdistan, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Frailty's national animal is the Silverfish and its national religion is Violentism.

Frailty is ranked 110,394^th in the world and 305^th in Talonia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 28,689.69 Standard Monetary Units.
