The Empire of Thomasear is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Baron Ali Giva with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, devout population of 15.032 billion Thomasearians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markovic. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thomasearian economy, worth a remarkable 2,094 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 139,359 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Governments opposing Thomasear are beset by rebels, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, war is made in the name of love, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thomasear's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thomasearian Orthodox Christianity.

Thomasear is ranked 29,979^th in the world and 4^th in Lisseum for Largest Populations, with 15.0 billion capita.
