The Republic of Polis of Thebes is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avant-garde cinema, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 591 million Polis of Thebesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Polis of Thebesian economy, worth 35.5 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,133 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, gun ownership is compulsory, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polis of Thebes's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polis of Thebes is ranked 23,562^nd in the world and 13^th in Historia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,620.49 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
