The Kingdom of Tailtearsa is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 507 million Tailtearsans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tír Cosanta. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Tailtearsan economy, worth 37.7 trillion Pios a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,359 Pios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tailtearsa's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tailtearsa is ranked 271,114^th in the world and 1,141^st in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
