The Community of Thump is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 23.891 billion Thumpians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Thumpian economy, worth 393 trillion Fiveses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 16,472 Fiveses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thump's national animal is the Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thump is ranked 78,421st in the world and 1st in The Nationalist Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
