The Glorious Rogue Nation of Tharunda is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King John V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, triple-decker prams, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.71 billion Tharundans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acherus. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tharundan economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion Thars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,728 Thars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Tharundan grocery store, adults hang around outside comic stores to ask kids to go and buy magazines for them, and raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing. Crime is totally unknown. Tharunda's national animal is the Ragamuffin Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tharunda is ranked 14,122nd in the world and 31st in Declansburg for Most Pacifist, with 123.78 cheeks turned per day.
