The Holy Empire of Typhootania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the holy Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 38.414 billion Typhootanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sankt Caymaningen-Schlonzelsdorf. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Typhootanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,440 trillion Schlonzes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,562 Schlonzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, punitive tariffs protect local industry, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime is well under control. Typhootania's national animal is the typhootanian cayman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Typhootania is ranked 290,490^th in the world and 44^th in Deutschland for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -30.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
