The Nikopolian Realm's Archoncy of Thama is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Archon Cedric with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 28.348 billion Nikopolians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roanoke. The average income tax rate is 8.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nikopolian economy, worth an astonishing 10,499 trillion Blades 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 Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 370,388 Blades, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, friendly revolutionaries are the nation's greatest export, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime is totally unknown. Thama's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Craftfaith.

Thama is ranked 3,383^rd in the world and 150^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 11,597.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
