The Socialist Union of Tal Shiar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.105 billion Talishes live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Tal Shiarian economy, worth 417 trillion Talish Levas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,274 Talish Levas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 266,017 per year while the poor average 2,587, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tal Shiar's national animal is the kingfisher, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Tal Shiar is ranked 269,275^th in the world and 326^th in Eurth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 38.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
