The Royal Guards of Thedzos is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Thed with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.518 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 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thedzosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,212 trillion denarii a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,305 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 241,479^th in the world and 2^nd in The Orientale Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 316.05 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
