The State of Thinahtea is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 36.824 billion Thinahteans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The very strong Thinahtean economy, worth a remarkable 1,397 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 37,955 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,050 per year while the poor average 2,039, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Abortions are routinely performed in Thinahtea's hospitals, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, voting is voluntary, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime is a major problem. Thinahtea's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Thinahtea is ranked 260,233^rd in the world and 1^st in Thinahtea for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 15.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
