The Lore of Thneedtown is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ebeziah Muji with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 19.926 billion Thneedans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zirotler. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thneed economy, worth a remarkable 2,365 trillion Gekans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,731 Gekans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Ebeziah Muji is a silly poophead, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thneedtown's national animal is the Totar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nine Divines.

Thneedtown is ranked 9,126th in the world and 485th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 123 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
