The Forever Dying Republic of Thils is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President John Thilz with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 7.856 billion Thilsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thils City. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thilsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,117 trillion Eaglettes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,285 Eaglettes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, glamping Thilsians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and a recent political debate came to a quick close once the ruling party decreed it was "just plain silly". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thils's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Thils is ranked 66,151^st in the world and 417^th in Europe for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 173,914 Standard Monetary Units.
