The Holy Empire of Greater Thanu is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 247 million Greater Thanuans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Greater Thanuan economy, worth 20.1 trillion Beans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,490 Beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, Leader's reputation is hard as nails, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and the best spies are positively radiant after completing a big mission. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Thanu's national animal is the Demogorgon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Thanu is ranked 260,737^th in the world and 93^rd in The Smusian Coast for Nudest, with 59.75 cheeks per square mile.
