The Union of Theocretes is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Theo with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.678 billion Theocretians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Txher on Gelt. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Theocretesian economy, worth 816 trillion Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 143,831 Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theocretes's national animal is the Robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Theocretes is ranked 5,158^th in the world and 141^st in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,937.52 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
