The Colony of The Tallo is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.904 billion Talloans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Talloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,786 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air The Tallo flights to avoid the pay lavatories, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Tallo's national animal is the giraffe.
The Tallo is ranked 53,914th in the world and 598th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 817.3638171646 days.
