The Holy Empire of Typhootania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the holy Emperor with an even hand, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed population of 14.562 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sankt Caymaningen-Schlonzelsdorf. The average income tax rate is 19%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, abortions are routinely performed in Typhootania's hospitals, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Typhootania to be bombproof. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Typhootania's national animal is the typhootanian cayman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Schlonz.

Typhootania is ranked 36th in Deutschland and 131,001st in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -185 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
