The Republic of Thorium19 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.129 billion Thorium19ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Thorium19ian economy, worth 45.7 trillion Thoriums a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,493 Thoriums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorium19's national animal is the Thorium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thorium19 is ranked 192,793^rd in the world and 7,237^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.43 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
