The People's Republic of Theodoraland is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 620 million Theodoralandishes are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thelorian. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Theodoralandian economy, worth 37.9 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,194 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theodoraland's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Theodoraland is ranked 268,009^th in the world and 1,146^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.29 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
