The Republic State of Thal Dorthat is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Consul Antonius with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 5.811 billion Dorthatians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Excelsior. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thal Dorthatian economy, worth 665 trillion Dorthatian marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,547 Dorthatian marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, politicians put their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la la" when walking past lobbyists, babysitters are a thing of the past, and Mona Lola's famous mysterious smile is being altered to resemble Consul Antonius's enigmatic grin. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thal Dorthat's national animal is the tapir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amathinism.

Thal Dorthat is ranked 299,134^th in the world and 16^th in Enomenos for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
