The Fox In Flames of Thedaria is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Thed with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.863 billion Thedarians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thedaria City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Thedarian economy, worth 773 trillion flames a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 131,933 flames, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 749,266 per year while the poor average 11,333, a ratio of 66.1 to 1.

Luxury brands target their advertising at the unemployed and homeless, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, running a hot dog stand is harder than achieving a doctorate, and government officials are phoning up good-looking celebrities to say they want to breed with them. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Thedaria's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Peace and Quiet.

Thedaria is ranked 71,537th in the world and 796th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 19.64 flags saluted per person per day.
