The Royal Guards of Thedzos is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Thed with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.594 billion Thedzosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferod. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thedzosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,207 trillion denarii a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,549 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, time flies when you're not having fun, the face of Thed is a permanent feature of the Ferod skyline, and the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thedzos's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sovereignty.

Thedzos is ranked 65,975^th in the world and 1^st in All the other countries are run by girls for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 115.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
