“The Island of Never Ending Festivity”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Thalamos is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 191 million Thalamosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.9%.

The strong Thalamosian economy, worth 13.0 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,123 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned parrotball fields, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, and TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thalamos's national animal is the parrot.

Thalamos is ranked 147,280^th in the world and 233^rd in The Kodiak Republic for Most Patriotic, with 9.45 flags saluted per person per day.
