The Federated Republic of Tarligean is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Minister Arielle Avantra with an even hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 29.757 billion Taergeni enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andriel. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Taergeni economy, worth a remarkable 2,827 trillion Atlantean Drachmas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,012 Atlantean Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand, diplomats miss flights while wandering Andriel Airport's endless art maze, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tarligean's national animal is the Atlantean Crested River Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tarligean is ranked 6,802^nd in the world and 4^th in Atlantis for Largest Populations, with 29.8 billion capita.
