The Holy United Triumvirate of Theurgia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Supreme Council of Hierophants with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.846 billion Theurgois love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theurgos City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Theurgian economy, worth a remarkable 3,300 trillion Alms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 222,305 Alms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pranking is an art form, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', and newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theurgia's national animal is the Salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Theurgy.

Theurgia is ranked 332nd in the world and 15th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 22,572.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
