The Fourth Harbinger of Tracian Empire is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Vaeros II with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 27.212 billion Thracians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vathora. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thracian economy, worth a remarkable 4,065 trillion Auriols a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 149,388 Auriols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, scientists take credit every time it rains in International Northwestern Union, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tracian Empire's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vayonism.

Tracian Empire is ranked 8,912^th in the world and 10^th in International Northwestern Union for Most Developed, scoring 91.27 on the Human Development Index.
