The Unconventional Geniuses of Talchyon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Acting Head Dr Lazarus Biltoff with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, triple-decker prams, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.15 billion Talchyonites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nemo. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Talchyonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,366 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,307 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
This summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, private law firms are unheard of, and stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Talchyon to disarm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Talchyon's national animal is the Prawn shrimp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Talchyon is ranked 4,293rd in the world and 2nd in Icarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
