The Def-Not-BlackLight-Covenant of AC3 Thunderbolt is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.597 billion AC3 Thunderboltians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 15.8%.

The strong AC3 Thunderboltian economy, worth 561 trillion Aussie Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 65,367 Aussie Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, and newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names. Crime is totally unknown. AC3 Thunderbolt's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AC3 Thunderbolt is ranked 111,516^th in the world and 45^th in Japan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,756.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
