The Commonwealth of Erythrean Thebes is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The King of Thebes with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 13.541 billion Thebans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Thebes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Erythrean Thebesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,318 trillion drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 171,192 drachmas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 775,582 per year while the poor average 23,185, a ratio of 33.5 to 1.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and one can wake up in Erythrean Thebes and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime is relatively low. Erythrean Thebes's national animal is the Theban lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Apollo.

Erythrean Thebes is ranked 170,462nd in the world and 3,622nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 99.38745028088 days.
