The People's Republic of Thelania is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 513 million Thelanians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acheron. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Thelanian economy, worth 46.3 trillion Ispims a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 90,200 Ispims, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Thelania's border, Leader's Twitcher account is typically used to share Raven memes rather than government policy, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thelania's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Thelania is ranked 3,299^th in the world and 169^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,325.54 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
