The Republic of Thevartopires is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.416 billion Thevartopiresians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Thevartopiresian economy, worth 94.8 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,956 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, and hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thevartopires's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Thevartopires is ranked 41,531st in the world and 2,526th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 734.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
