The Imperial Realms of Thurinerstadt is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Berthachar VII with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.54 billion Thuringiis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tellerbrücke. The average income tax rate is 54.5%.

The Thuringii economy, worth 193 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,424 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Kindhearted Thuringiis generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, nobles' fancy titles no longer help them cut in line at the supermarket, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thurinerstadt's national animal is the panthera leo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Thurinerstadt is ranked 131,796^th in the world and 157^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Developed, scoring 57.58 on the Human Development Index.
