The Republic of Thaipursia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by tuju'an with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.915 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 2.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thaipursian economy, worth a remarkable 8,479 trillion dramas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 327,201 dramas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even God cannot save you in Thaipursia, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 178th in the world and 1st in Kataru Kur Gal for Lowest Crime Rates, with 256.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
