The National Republic of Thermodolia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jacob Zarman with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 22.755 billion Thermodolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thermodolia City. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thermodolian economy, worth a remarkable 4,896 trillion Thermas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 215,187 Thermas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

"Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, nose plugs are the latest Thermodolian fashion accessory, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thermodolia's national animal is the Thermodolian Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thermodolian Christianity.

Thermodolia is ranked 4,226th in the world and 2nd in Zentari for Most Cultured, scoring 182 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
