The Republic of Thaipursia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by tuju'an with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, avant-garde cinema, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.796 billion Thaipans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dashai. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Thaipursian economy, worth an astonishing 11,326 trillion dramas a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 407,503 dramas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thaipursia's national animal is the sea turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Thaipursian Orthodox Church.

Thaipursia is ranked 2,317^th in the world and 2^nd in Kataru Kur Gal for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,276.96 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
