The Republic of Therima is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning wolf population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.28 billion Therimen are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Theriman economy, worth 448 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 71,351 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,482 per year while the poor average 15,974, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Therima's national animal is the wolf.

Therima is ranked 14,622^nd in the world and 549^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,762.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
