The Federal Republic of Themyschira is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Matriarch Hippolyta Wifmann with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.196 billion Themyschirans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Themyschiran economy, worth 43.9 trillion Lire a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,725 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, concussed Hawkball players cannot remember their lineup position, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Themyschira's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.
Themyschira is ranked 93,889th in the world and 12th in The Southern Lands for Smartest Citizens, with 36.85 quips per hour.
