The United Socialist States of Theol is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 962 million Theolians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Theolian economy, worth 54.8 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,003 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The question of 'what is Leader's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, students abandon classrooms for online education, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theol's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Theol is ranked 267,261^st in the world and 1,030^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.71 kickbacks per hour.
