The Republic of Thera Gre is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and avant-garde cinema. The quiet, industrious population of 10.857 billion Thera Greans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Thera Grean economy, worth 422 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,945 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thera Gre's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thera Gre is ranked 80,064th in the world and 3,676th in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,565.6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
