The Arctic Fox Lovers of Tharlect is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Britz Haleq with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.736 billion Tharlectics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapphire City. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tharlectic economy, worth 447 trillion Yarons a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 78,057 Yarons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", structures are raised on promises, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tharlect's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Tharlect is ranked 140,067^th in the world and 2,288^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,046.6 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
