The Joyous Shout of Thalatta is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Ten Thousand with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and feral children. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.421 billion Hellenes 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 Administration, although Environment, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mare Nostrum. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hellene economy, worth 566 trillion briny coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,392 briny coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diminutive Hellene generals are feared for their aggressiveness, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thalatta's national animal is the Loggerhead Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Katabasis.

Thalatta is ranked 440^th in the world and 6^th in Wasteland for Most Primitive, scoring 362.85 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
