The City States of Thaulandi is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Florin Bagocash with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.91 billion Thaulandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stallhavna Port. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Thaulandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,287 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 295,216 Florins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,716,140 per year while the poor average 3,286, a ratio of 826 to 1.

A shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, college-level writing classes are taught by undergraduate editors of the school newspaper, and unemployed judges can be found squatting in abandoned courthouses. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Thaulandi's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cold hard cash.

Thaulandi is ranked 306,056th in the world and 11th in The Sportsbook for Most Cultured, scoring -26 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
