The Theocracy of Thee golden sky is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.777 billion Thee golden skyians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stella Aurea. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Thee golden skyian economy, worth 250 trillion kronor a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 141,157 kronor, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 969,550 per year while the poor average 7,350, a ratio of 131 to 1.

Thee golden skyian scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and calisthenics is a well-known tax-dodging technique. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thee golden sky's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Golden dream.

Thee golden sky is ranked 10,422nd in the world and 1st in Qamara for Most Patriotic, with 67.87 flags saluted per person per day.
