The People's Republic of Therrielan is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 414 million Therrielanis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eastern Puffinopolis. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Therrielanic economy, worth 41.4 trillion smackaroos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 99,983 smackaroos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If someone says there's plenty of living space in Therrielan they're lyin', people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, and the children of Therrielan are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Therrielan's national animal is the vampire jerboa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Therrielan is ranked 18,845^th in the world and 661^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 90 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
