The Christmas Grinch of Thembria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imagawa Yoshimoto with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.206 billion Thembrians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siloam Springs. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Thembrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,979 trillion Steams a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 209,725 Steams, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,181,031 per year while the poor average 18,364, a ratio of 64.3 to 1.

The government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, economists claim no news is good news, and understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thembria's national animal is the Zombie Snow Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Really Sleepy.

Thembria is ranked 185,805th in the world and 132nd in Forest for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,212.04 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
