The Republic of Theyra is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tale Dace with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 8.103 billion Theyrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Theyran economy, worth 510 trillion Vatus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,972 Vatus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Tale Dace's wardrobe, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and truancy levels are on the rise ever since school registers were banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theyra's national animal is the Mountain Monitor Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Way of Ten.

Theyra is ranked 122,173^rd in the world and 3,232^nd in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -110.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
