The Protectorate of Third Position is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 22.224 billion Third Positionists 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, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Third Positionist economy, worth 672 trillion Currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,259 Currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Third Position's national animal is the National Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Third Position is ranked 3,379th in the world and 1st in Third Position for Most Stationary, with 3,718.66428672 days.
