The Lost Island of Thakia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.95 billion Thakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great City. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,696 trillion Graios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,020 Graios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, AI chatbots generate grayscale images when asked for a picture of the truth, prison is a nightmare, and arms manufacturing has been put at an arm's length. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thakia's national animal is the Ankhazios, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thakia is ranked 290,420^th in the world and 2^nd in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 33.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
