The City States of Thaulandi is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Florin Bagocash with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.436 billion Thaulandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stallhavna Port. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Thaulandian economy, worth a remarkable 7,815 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 333,477 Florins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,136,936 per year while the poor average 21,236, a ratio of 100 to 1.

The Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Thaulandian politicians, emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires, and bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Thaulandi's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cold hard cash.

Thaulandi is ranked 132^nd in the world and 1^st in Indie for Rudest Citizens, with 1,010.29 insults per minute.
