The Republic of Therandin is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and national health service. The cynical population of 1.187 billion Therandinians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Therandinian economy, worth 137 trillion Bitts a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,698 Bitts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
The military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, all marriages are arranged by the government, and card players are calling the government's bluff on anti-gambling legislation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Therandin's national animal is the Fae, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Therandin is ranked 6,992nd in the world and 4th in Sophia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,031.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
