The Republic of Thurgau is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Diethelm-Friedrich von Toggenburg with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.866 billion Thurgauers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frauenfeld. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The very strong Thurgauer economy, worth a remarkable 1,174 trillion thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 49,228 thalers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 150,382 per year while the poor average 12,490, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory, Diethelm-Friedrich von Toggenburg has just been declared ruler of Thurgau in an international press conference, Roman Catholicism has been named as Thurgau's national religion, and Thurgau has designated Frauenfeld as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Thurgau's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Thurgau is ranked 121,432^nd in the world and 11^th in Swiss Confederation for Most Patriotic, with 14.3 flags saluted per person per day.
