The Republic of Theritaria is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Theritarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.6%.

The strong Theritarian economy, worth 929 billion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,393 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime is almost non-existent. Theritaria's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Theritaria is ranked 179,131^st in the world and 145^th in Karma for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 24.57 Effective Tax Rate.
