The Oppressed Peoples of Thunkovia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by John Thunker with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.486 billion Thunkovians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tristitia. The average income tax rate is 6.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thunkovian economy, worth 581 trillion smackaroons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 166,898 smackaroons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, and tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Thunkovia's national animal is the Depressed Echidna, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Thunkism.

Thunkovia is ranked 260,935^th in the world and 22^nd in Warzone Asia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -7.75 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
