The Pacific Republic of Talitoa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jarnet Billings with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.587 billion Talitoans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Takkatok. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Talitoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,395 trillion Talios a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 232,804 Talios, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is giving peace a chance, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talitoa's national animal is the Oarfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Zelionism.

Talitoa is ranked 908th in the world and 18th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 386 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
