The Lost Island of Thakia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.691 billion Thakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great City. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thakian economy, worth 997 trillion Graios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,641 Graios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Babies are a small but significant export, 'Ankhaziosnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thakia's national animal is the Ankhazios, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thakia is ranked 30,135^th in the world and 7^th in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Most Beautiful Environments, with 834.41 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
