The Kingdom of Thaelle is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dyl Kyosson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.786 billion Thaelleans 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 tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyoicho. The average income tax rate is 7.3%.

The very strong Thaellean economy, worth 189 trillion Kiels a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 67,967 Kiels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, Thaelle has designated Kyoicho as its capital city, and Dyl Kyosson has just been declared ruler of Thaelle in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Thaelle's national animal is the Arctic Warbler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thaelle is ranked 141,835^th in the world and 350^th in The Free Nations Region for Longest Average Lifespans, with 69.42 years.
