It's as understandable as "Alice in Wonderland" - and as delightful. Can you explain Asterix or The Incredible Hulk or I, Robot or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or pretty well any perceptive and surreal story in our long literary history? No, you can't.
And you can't explain Talossa either.
No matter - just tell people it is fun and eccentric and full of the most interesting and bizarre people from all round the world, and tell people that it is loved and hated by its citizens who argue amongst themselves all the time - but will defend it staunchly from outside attack, and that it has a core, central language that very few of its citizens speak.
Can you go to jail? Read some of the laws and see just how odd the country is - laugh... and join!
