The Most Serene Republic of ThunderheadUtopia is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 5 million ThunderheadUtopians 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case ThunderheadUtopian economy, worth 44.0 billion dollarydoos 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 Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 8,795 dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ThunderheadUtopia's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

ThunderheadUtopia is ranked 88,140^th in the world and 2^nd in Schrodingers Region for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 65.87 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
