The Eternal Archprincedom of Thiranaedh is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.532 billion Thiranæ are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bælâkfèr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Thirana economy, worth 77.7 trillion Thirana Bâldh | ฿ᚦs 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 30,673 Thirana Bâldh | ฿ᚦs, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

A popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", Thiranæ have replaced bears in a popular idiom, grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday, and the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thiranaedh's national animal is the Occidental Lindwyrm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Animism and Ancestor Worship.

Thiranaedh is ranked 291,079^th in the world and 31^st in Meillur for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -7.48 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
