The Theocracy of Teius Therche is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 309 million Teius Thercheans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.3%.

The all-consuming Teius Therchean economy, worth 25.0 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 80,871 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,877 per year while the poor average 9,203, a ratio of 43.7 to 1.

Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Teius Therche's national animal is the Tree, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Teius Therche is ranked 66,837^th in the world and 1,941^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
