The People's Republic of Thebrin is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Comrade Nathalie Handottr with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 7.876 billion Thebrinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlmarxstadt. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Thebrinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,060 trillion Thebris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 261,620 Thebris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the nation is completely gun-free. Crime is totally unknown. Thebrin's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Thebrin is ranked 282,792^nd in the world and 1,208^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.11 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
