The Democratic Stratocracy of Theroria is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Justan Otherguy with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.945 billion Therors 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hent. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Therorian economy, worth 698 trillion Theror Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,559 Theror Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Conspiracy theorists allege Hent's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, and the most critical drill is drilling for drills being interrupted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theroria's national animal is the Vertigo Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Syndicalist Party.

Theroria is ranked 17,148^th in the world and 233^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,688.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
