The Christian Federal Kingdom of Thuanu is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Thiago Gabriel II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.009 billion Thuaneses 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 relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pontelibratown. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Thuanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,642 trillion Swords a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 205,085 Swords, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thuanu's national animal is the White horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianism.

Thuanu is ranked 129,322^nd in the world and 130^th in Christians for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 877.93 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
