The Nation Versus the World of Thafoo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Scott Pilgrim with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.67 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toronto. The average income tax rate is 94%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, the people of Thafoo are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime is totally unknown. Thafoo's national animal is the Evil Ex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Canadian Dollar.

Thafoo is ranked 61st in Swine and 126,095th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
