The Royal Republic of Thespinia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Tirio III with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.563 billion Thespinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calahbehred. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Thespinian economy, worth a remarkable 6,396 trillion Thespins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 232,068 Thespins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and the Calahbehred Film Festival recently voted 'Thespinian Getting Hit By Football' as best film. Crime is totally unknown. Thespinia's national animal is the Thespian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is athiesm.

Thespinia is ranked 291,178^th in the world and 11,087^th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.13 kickbacks per hour.
