The People's Socialist Republic of Thebrin is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Nathalie Handottr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.383 billion Thebrinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlmarxstadt. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Thebrinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,415 trillion Thebris 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 257,486 Thebris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, old spellbooks are only useful as door-stops or toilet roll substitute, asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime is totally unknown. Thebrin's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Thebrin is ranked 327,390^th in the world and 984^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -17.94 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
