The Holy People's Republic of Thaltopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ratko Soika with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.298 billion Thaltians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oраоgrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Thaltopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,583 trillion Thaltopian Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 228,665 Thaltopian Dinars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,110,092 per year while the poor average 2,464, a ratio of 856 to 1.

This year's hottest seller is plenary indulgence, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Thaltopia's mid-life crisis, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Thaltopia's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Thaltopia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pravoverni Orthodoxy.

Thaltopia is ranked 315,620th in the world and 140th in Lands End for Most Secular, with 0.7 Atheism Rate.
