The Republic of Thihi is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.029 billion Thihians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Thihian economy, worth 75.4 trillion glasses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 73,281 glasses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Thihi City Natural History Museum, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thihi's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Thihi is ranked 7,340^th in the world and 144^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 125.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
