The Republic of ThotIis is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.647 billion Thots are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dastreets. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The ThotIisian economy, worth 161 trillion Waps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 61,061 Waps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and the green glow is a sign of clean energy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ThotIis's national animal is the Kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ThotIis is ranked 255,796^th in the world and 23^rd in Arborhaven for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 25.21 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
