The Black Riders Took The L of Talgud is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 8.254 billion Talgudians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Talgudian economy, worth 763 trillion dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,443 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criticism of Leader is considered unpatriotic, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talgud's national animal is the vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Talgud is ranked 244,614^th in the world and 1^st in region of reunited muslim states for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
