The Arling of Thraza is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Arlessa Tira vas Phassios with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 3.476 billion Thrazans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jakora. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Thrazan economy, worth 145 trillion kamas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 41,658 kamas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Arlessa Tira vas Phassios, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and rare steaks seem even bluer now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Thraza's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Thraza is ranked 99,158^th in the world and 4^th in Torrezon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 31,295.5 Standard Monetary Units.
