The Empire of Thousand Sons is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.762 billion Thousand Sonsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tizca. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thousand Sonsian economy, worth 749 trillion throne gelts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 199,146 throne gelts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime is totally unknown. Thousand Sons's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thousand Sons is ranked 4,094^th in the world and 1^st in Nihon for Highest Food Quality, scoring 221.55 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
