The Queen's State of Thelon Lake is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.526 billion Thelon Lakeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Thelon Lakean economy, worth 983 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 41,800 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,190 per year while the poor average 2,245, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the government is avowedly atheist, all tariffs have been abolished, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Thelon Lake's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thelon Lake is ranked 289,949^th in the world and 8^th in Montevideo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 31.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
