The Patron Saint of Academics of Professor Thomas is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Venerable Provost with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The quiet, industrious population of 8.756 billion Professors 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital District. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Professorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion Academias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,515 Academias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Professors make research institutes rich, the government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Capital District" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Professor Thomas's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Astra.

Professor Thomas is ranked 13,998^th in the world and 1^st in SOC 101 Team Assignment for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
