The Community of Thunder Mountain is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Canada Jack with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 14.656 billion Thunder Mountaineers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thunder Bay. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Thunder Mountainian economy, worth 562 trillion Hammers 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 38,374 Hammers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and Thunder Mountaineers submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thunder Mountain's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Humanism.

Thunder Mountain is ranked 81,336^th in the world and 10^th in Mum for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
