The Wake Up of Thaw is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kivat-Bat the 3rd with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.876 billion Fangires are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castle Doran. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Fangire economy, worth a remarkable 3,199 trillion Episodes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 230,556 Episodes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kivat-Bat the 3rd is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thaw's national animal is the Fangire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kiva.

Thaw is ranked 1,644^th in the world and 68^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 152.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
