The Republic of Thylakos is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 560 million Thylakosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Thylakosian economy, worth 16.9 trillion Talents a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,241 Talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, pranking is an art form, and Thylakos is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thylakos's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thylakos is ranked 248,178th in the world and 2,954th in the West Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 22.48 quips per hour.
