The Dominion of Theranion is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.602 billion Theranionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Theranionian economy, worth 188 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,483 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday, environmentalists have found an unusual ally in soldiers of fortune, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theranion's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Theranion is ranked 14,284^th in the world and 2^nd in Basileia Rhomania for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,221.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
