The Democratic States of Thaumania is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Thaumar with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate population of 10.47 billion Thaumanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thaumatropolis. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Thaumanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,437 trillion Thaumas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,317 Thaumas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, foreign invaders are putting Thaumanian lab rats out of a job, and politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thaumania's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Yobanism.

Thaumania is ranked 139,044^th in the world and 639^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,023.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
