The Commonwealth of Thrydland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Council of State with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.078 billion Thrydmen enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dothabrakoll. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thryddish economy, worth 117 trillion Wyks 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 Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 109,456 Wyks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and government employees from Thrydland dominate international lumberjack competitions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thrydland's national animal is the Ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Thrydland is ranked 8,318^th in the world and 77^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 36.77 average smiles per day.
