The Commonwealth of Thessat is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 303 million Thessatians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xavier. The average income tax rate is 45.0%.

The thriving Thessatian economy, worth 21.7 trillion skatts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,646 skatts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, and politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thessat's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thessat is ranked 84,350^th in the world and 510^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,483.4 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
