The Dictatorship of John Thach is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.836 billion John Thachians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The John Thachian economy, worth 258 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 44,299 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Thach's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

John Thach is ranked 170,624^th in the world and 3^rd in The Germanic isles for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 36,236.6 Standard Monetary Units.
