The Nomadic Peoples of Thyndell is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 96 million Thynds love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Thyndish economy, worth 1.75 trillion discs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 18,227 discs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words guilty and evidence have left the Thyndish lexicon, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, and the nation's largest export is socialist agitators. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thyndell's national animal is the iguana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thyndell is ranked 195,059^th in the world and 4^th in The Socialist Alliance of People for Fattest Citizens, with 9.43 Obesity Rate.
