The Most Serene Islands of Talvezout is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Palomba Solis with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.485 billion Talvezians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sephrada. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Talvezian economy, worth a remarkable 2,617 trillion Golden Tavares a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 180,690 Golden Tavares, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Talvezout's radio stations, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low. Crime is totally unknown. Talvezout's national animal is the Monk Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Talvezout is ranked 828^th in the world and 1^st in Refugia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 37,664.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
