The Watchfires of Thraxius is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.929 billion Thraxiusians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.4%.

The all-consuming Thraxiusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,205 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 96,196 $$s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 289,022 per year while the poor average 24,993, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, lottery winners spend most of their money on security, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thraxius's national animal is the Salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thraxius is ranked 48,562^nd in the world and 1^st in The Holy State of Israel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
