Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Theocracy of Therssistal is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by His Holiness Leo Clement De Got with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.021 billion Therssistalians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andraste. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Therssistalian economy, worth 176 trillion Moons a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,330 Moons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Therssistal's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Therssistal is ranked 43,647^th in the world and 900^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,378.81 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
