The Borderlands of Theocrana is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.681 billion Theocranans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Theocranan economy, worth 539 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 80,716 yen, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 609,475 per year while the poor average 3,025, a ratio of 201 to 1.

Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, and the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theocrana's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Theocrana is ranked 223,202nd in the world and 1,158th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
