The Holy People's Republic of Thaltopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ratko Soika with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.948 billion Thalians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oраоgrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Thaltopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,487 trillion Thaltopian Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 227,197 Thaltopian Dinars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,973,964 per year while the poor average 4,144, a ratio of 476 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, government officials are phoning up good-looking celebrities to say they want to breed with them, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Thaltopia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Antenian Orthodoxy.

Thaltopia is ranked 295,148^th in the world and 149^th in Lands End for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 11.08 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
