The Apostolic Collection of Third Thing is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Island Doggo population. The hard-working, devout population of 1.408 billion Third Thingians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Administration, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The very strong Third Thingian economy, worth 72.6 trillion Island Talers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 51,574 Island Talers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 153,348 per year while the poor average 13,599, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Third Thing City. Crime is relatively low. Third Thing's national animal is the Island Doggo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Third Thing is ranked 90,405^th in the world and 12^th in IxChange for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
