The Grand Kingdom of TalAkMaChen is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ser Ghez with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 28.727 billion MaChengs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korbucci. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Akmachenian economy, worth an astonishing 11,393 trillion talls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 396,622 talls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, Ser Ghez's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens. Crime is totally unknown. TalAkMaChen's national animal is the Sabretooth Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Faith.

TalAkMaChen is ranked 4,280^th in the world and 8^th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Corrupt Governments, with 246.58 kickbacks per hour.
