The Republic of Thrisho is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josef Stalin with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, complete lack of prisons, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 756 million Thrishoans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Communistland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Thrishoan economy, worth 89.5 trillion Roubles a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,429 Roubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 429,039 per year while the poor average 23,306, a ratio of 18.4 to 1.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer Roubles to support "struggling" industries, anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, and Josef Stalin claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thrisho's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thrisho is ranked 237,518^th in the world and 350^th in Confederacy of Layem for Most Income Equality, scoring 5.43 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
