The Republic of Thromsa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Maria da Graça Chou with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.723 billion Thromsnonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nossa Senhora da Assumpção. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thromsnonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,671 trillion Thromsonian Escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,520 Thromsonian Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political detractors refer to Maria da Graça Chou as 'that Bigtopian puppet', faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Thromsa's national animal is the Sea Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Thromsa is ranked 35,256^th in the world and 36^th in The Western Isles for Most Corrupt Governments, with 61.75 kickbacks per hour.
