Introduction
Tallberg is an independent city state renowned for both its lavish wealth, and the crippling poverty of its less fortunate residents. With a total area of 613 sq mi., Tallberg is one of the most, if not the most, densely populated area in the world, with an approximated population density of 51,820 people per square mile. Tallberg is a major hub of immigration, so its demographics are mixed and varied.
Tallberg was settled by the Dutch, and was maintained as a trading outpost. However, it claimed independence in 1823, which it was allowed, and became established as a midway point between the South America, North America, Europe, and Africa. Despite multiple raids, seasonal storms, and a huge influx in immigrants that led to overpopulation, Tallberg established itself as a regional economic power and contender.
Tallberg today is known as a major leader in manufacturing and industry, and is also a frequent hideout for wanted criminals and insurance defrauders, as the country refuses to expedite criminals, and has very little to no regulation on most of its banks. A large section of the island city is shrouded in slums where many residents live without basic necessities such as water, electricity, and food, and where crime is rampant. It has been described by the World Assembly as, "...a laissez-faire state where residents enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases."
