The Republic of Therelia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Therelia with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 3.758 billion Therelians 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theora. The average income tax rate is 49.1%.

The thriving Therelian economy, worth 383 trillion Therelian Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,148 Therelian Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The national economy makes a whole lot of nothing, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Empress Therelia day after day, and visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Therelia's national animal is the Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Therelia is ranked 81,538^th in the world and 6^th in Tri Sea Pact for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,463.76 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
