The United Kingdom of Theeter is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.573 billion Theeterians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Theeterian economy, worth 228 trillion Hellers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 145,519 Hellers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,113,869 per year while the poor average 5,164, a ratio of 215 to 1.

Every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, policies are debated via video essays and tier lists, corporate 'hostile takeovers' now involve ICBMs and main battle tanks, and former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theeter's national animal is the Schwein, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Theeter is ranked 144,067^th in the world and 226^th in Aeternum for Most Developed, scoring 56.05 on the Human Development Index.
