The Blue United Kingdom of Thercus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Invisible Hand with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.096 billion Thercusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Londonstan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Thercusian economy, worth 404 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 193,166 Sterlings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 766,176 per year while the poor average 32,888, a ratio of 23.3 to 1.

The nation's favourite colour is blue (Thercus has found 2 easter eggs), the legal profession considers itself above the law, Thercus has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, and pranking is an art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Thercus's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Freedom.

Thercus is ranked 43,647^th in the world and 3^rd in Liberlandia for Nudest, with 215.75 cheeks per square mile.
