The Republic of Thrisho is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josef Stalin with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.716 billion Thrishoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Communistland. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thrishoan economy, worth 569 trillion Roubles a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,775 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thrisho's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Thrisho is ranked 28,184^th in the world and 38^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,221.9 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
