The Macedonian Protectorate of Thesalia is a behemoth, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 50.137 billion Thesalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Thesalian economy, worth 912 trillion Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 18,193 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thesalia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thesalia is ranked 83,400^th in the world and 1^st in Nepal for Largest Black Market, with 3.88 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
