The Loving Couple of Thanks ToThem is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lucia with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.998 billion Thanks ToThemians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Owl House. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thanks ToThemian economy, worth 517 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,639 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lucia has killer fashion sense, doctors prescribe medicines produced by the last pharmaceutical company to give them a free pen, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million snails of property damage, and the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thanks ToThem's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Thanks ToThem is ranked 127,197th in the world and 2nd in Murkton for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
