The People's Republic of Thes Maca is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.311 billion Thes Macans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Thes Macan economy, worth 17.0 trillion hashes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 12,980 hashes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only women behind bars are barmaids, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, the nation's WA representatives have received a very public sacking after Thes Maca allowed its WA membership to lapse, and animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild. Crime is almost non-existent. Thes Maca's national animal is the anggitay, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thes Maca is ranked 167,257^th in the world and 621^st in The Frontier Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 580 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
