The District of Thalass is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.868 billion Thalassians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Thalassian economy, worth 756 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,665 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,207 per year while the poor average 2,987, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes and Thalass has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Thalass's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Thalass is ranked 84,916^th in the world and 4^th in United Allied Federation for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 45,568.07 Standard Monetary Units.
