The Holy Empire of Greater Thanu is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 271 million Thanuans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thanus. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Greater Thanuan economy, worth 22.6 trillion Beans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,534 Beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Movie producers send film critics wads of cash in their morning newspapers in anticipation of gushing praise, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Thanu's national animal is the Demogorgon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Greater Thanu is ranked 53,266^th in the world and 18^th in The Smusian Coast for Safest, scoring 102.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
