The Drakonic State of Termalkat is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.699 billion Tehkama are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shervit. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Tehkama economy, worth 239 trillion Yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,711 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens pray for sunshine so that they can use illicit sundials for timekeeping, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, arbitration is mightier than the sword, and cars have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Termalkat's national animal is the Termamuchi Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Termalkat is ranked 256,426^th in the world and 3^rd in Ornlan for Most Cultured, scoring 62 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
