The Loving Couple of -ThanksTo Them is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Paulina with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, national health service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.071 billion -ThanksTo Themians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Herbs Shop. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.9%.

The powerhouse -ThanksTo Themian economy, worth 357 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,493 snails, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, there's no such thing as a safe bet, and a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -ThanksTo Them's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

-ThanksTo Them is ranked 313,548th in the world and 13th in The Universal Order of Nations for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
