The People's Republic of Deep Thunder is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Canada Jack with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.863 billion Deep Thunderians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thunder Bay. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Deep Thunderian economy, worth 548 trillion Claps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 36,901 Claps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deep Thunder's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Thunderism.

Deep Thunder is ranked 79,878^th in the world and 9^th in Mum for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
