The Federation of Thraix is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.378 billion Thraicians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serdica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The strong Thraician economy, worth 609 trillion Davas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 49,225 Davas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 142,034 per year while the poor average 13,539, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, and street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Thraix's national animal is the owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Thraix is ranked 288,189^th in the world and 133^rd in New Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
