The Kingdom of Talopt is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.005 billion Taloptians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Taloptian economy, worth 13.1 trillion crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 13,066 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, Talopt recently decided against having a capital city, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talopt's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Talopt is ranked 30,608^th in the world and 6^th in Hellworld 2 for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.09 Effective Tax Rate.
