The United Technocratic Tribes of Western Theram is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dr Ratmeat and the Governing Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 12.365 billion Goblins have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramosanti. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Theramian economy, worth a remarkable 3,648 trillion credits 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 an amazing 295,102 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles, the government seems embarrassed to be seen governing, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Western Theram's national animal is the jackaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Western Theram is ranked 135,205^th in the world and 6^th in The DankLeft Commune for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,364.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
