The City States of Thaulandi is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Florin Bagocash with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.402 billion Thaulandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. 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 7,801 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 333,376 Florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,112,015 per year while the poor average 21,893, a ratio of 96.5 to 1.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, trash takes years to decompose and seconds to sell, legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak, and it is customary to begin the summer with a fasting ritual in which people eat nothing but kumquat smoothies. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. 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 333,109^th in the world and 2^nd in Indie for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -25.69 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
