The Principality of Thalmeh is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.099 billion Thalmehians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.3%.

The strong Thalmehian economy, worth 477 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,433 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 157,655 per year while the poor average 13,608, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Polygamy is legal, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, agricultural employees work for peanuts, and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime is moderate. Thalmeh's national animal is the Bearded dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Thalmeh is ranked 147,148^th in the world and 7^th in Train Station for Most Developed, scoring 55.8 on the Human Development Index.
