The Free Commonwealth of Thythe is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.084 billion Thytheans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aonair. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Thythean economy, worth 494 trillion Thythian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,216 Thythian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, the army's trophy cabinets have gone all-organic, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and the government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thythe's national animal is the Kea, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thythe is ranked 329,058^th in the world and 170^th in The Western Isles for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
