The Mammoth Steppe Protectorate of Thonatha is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.305 billion Thonathans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Thonathan economy, worth 866 trillion subarctic scudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,747 subarctic scudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, cars are banned, and the mammoth is a protected species. Crime is moderate. Thonatha's national animal is the mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thonatha is ranked 10,188^th in the world and 3^rd in Vortex for Largest Populations, with 27.3 billion capita.
