The Covert Republic of Theratises is a massive, genial nation, ruled by General Tsvelya Drogazna with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.752 billion Theratisesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Command Zone. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Theratisesian economy, worth 853 trillion THS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 179,608 THS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, losing your sock key may require surgical intervention, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Central Command Zone" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theratises's national animal is the EAGLE, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Theratises is ranked 85,338th in the world and 1st in THERATISES for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,521 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
