The Grant of Thessalia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Arpado Carnonio with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning compassfish population. The hard-working population of 16.228 billion Thessalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiargastramo. The average income tax rate is 25.0%.

The Thessalian economy, worth 603 trillion livroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 37,160 livroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, Thessalia has designated Fiargastramo as its capital city, Arpado Carnonio has just been declared ruler of Thessalia in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Thessalia's national religion. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thessalia's national animal is the compassfish and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Thessalia is ranked 219,840^th in the world and 74^th in Grant for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 415.64 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
