The Union of Thromsa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ralph Dawson with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.03 billion Thromsnonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacifica-Saints-Orleans. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Thromsnonian economy, worth 715 trillion Thromsonian Pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 101,712 Thromsonian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thromsa's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thromsa is ranked 207,216^th in the world and 153^rd in The Western Isles for Least Corrupt Governments, with 84.38 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
