The Colony of Commando Thunder is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.07 billion Commando Thunderians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The very strong Commando Thunderian economy, worth 932 trillion golden coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 58,043 golden coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,100 per year while the poor average 15,882, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The police double as repo men, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Commando Thunder's national animal is the orange and white cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Commando Thunder is ranked 56,619^th in the world and 8^th in The Trunk of a Pontiac Tempest for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 52,297.35 Standard Monetary Units.
