The People's Socialist Republic of Thebrin is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comrade Nathalie Handottr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 12.966 billion Thebrinians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlmarxstadt. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Thebrinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,629 trillion Thebris 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 279,894 Thebris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Comrade Nathalie Handottr has won three lotteries in a row, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, and the latest superhero movie features a caped Raccoon with adamantium claws. Crime is totally unknown. Thebrin's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Thebrin is ranked 4,292^nd in the world and 25^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 279,894.08 Standard Monetary Units.
