The City States of Thaulandi is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Florin Bagocash with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.294 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, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. 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 7,745 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 332,513 Florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,759,900 per year while the poor average 33,306, a ratio of 52.8 to 1.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, stocks go up when the internet says so, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes. 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 331,705^th in the world and 1^st in Indie for Nicest Citizens, with 0.1 average smiles per day.
