The Colony of Thedzoa is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 8.461 billion Thedzoans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thed. The average income tax rate is 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Thedzoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,109 trillion euros a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 131,164 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Burnout is common with anti-government demagogues, concussed wolfball players cannot remember their lineup position, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Thedzoa, and Big Belly is watching you. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thedzoa's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Thedzoa is ranked 268,169^th in the world and 209^th in Resuscitation for Safest, scoring 11.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
