The Democratic Republic of Lower Ther is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Michael I with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.37 billion Lower Therians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shore. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lower Therian economy, worth a remarkable 3,355 trillion dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 455,301 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,290,199 per year while the poor average 50,589, a ratio of 45.3 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, this year's televised Budget Forecast has been cancelled because there was already one last year, and the government is a law unto itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Ther's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Lower Ther is ranked 55,279th in the world and 12th in Union of Christian Nations for Most Stationary, with 794.29183193068 days.
