The Thantatorship of THAN-Land is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Than Gaines III with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.977 billion Thanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thanium. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient THAN-Landian economy, worth a remarkable 4,604 trillion Thaners a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 219,503 Thaners, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward, THAN-Land isn't what it used to be, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. THAN-Land's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Thanism.

THAN-Land is ranked 225,032^nd in the world and 3^rd in Thandamaniland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 9.76 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
