The Principality of Thanitharia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prince Tomas Xeno Yi Zeus I with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.32 billion Thanitharians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jovulz. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Thanitharian economy, worth 106 trillion Kraths a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,940 Kraths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege Jovulz's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thanitharia's national animal is the Gold Painted Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Thanitharia is ranked 44,633^rd in the world and 1,030^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 715.66 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
