The Nudist Empire of Thaurassian is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jimmy Briggs with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.649 billion Thaurassianians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ibiza. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Thaurassianian economy, worth 972 trillion nudes 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, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 172,192 nudes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, wearing a daisy chain is a fast-track ticket to unemployment, public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, and end-of-year production reports state that the revolution is really going with a bang. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thaurassian's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Druidism.

Thaurassian is ranked 22,453^rd in the world and 10^th in Hive for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,567.69 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
