The First Warden of Benevolent Thomas is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Thomas with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 21.879 billion Wardens enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Triumph. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Warden economy, worth a remarkable 2,786 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,370 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is one competing standard, child support loans with high interest rates are available in Warden banks, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benevolent Thomas's national animal is the Barkspawn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Benevolent Thomas is ranked 304,236th in the world and 197th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
