The United Districts of Theroria is a huge, safe nation, ruled by David Connaroy with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 917 million Therors 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Columbus. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Therorian economy, worth 89.7 trillion Theror Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 97,809 Theror Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Therors's kindness, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to David Connaroy's wardrobe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theroria's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Theroria is ranked 121,277^th in the world and 2,889^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,068.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
