The Most Serene State of Thermendos is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 896 million Thermendosians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rododafni. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Thermendosian economy, worth 45.4 trillion Nomismata a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,722 Nomismata, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, bike rage is all the rage, and politicians are often seen attending regional history classes at primary schools within their constituencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Thermendos's national animal is the White Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thermendos is ranked 81,569^th in the world and 64^th in Equiterra for Safest, scoring 89.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
