The People's Republic of Thorkok is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Boris Sthukshin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.865 billion Thorkokians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isonbert. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thorkokian economy, worth 208 trillion Zanonsts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 111,828 Zanonsts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, Thorkok has taken the radical step of electing its future leaders, on-duty Air Thorkok flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorkok's national animal is the Seal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Thorkokianism.

Thorkok is ranked 253,703^rd in the world and 5^th in Kralistan for Safest, scoring 16.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
