The Dictatorship of Tharee is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Paul-Gua with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.183 billion Tharees are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thareique. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Thareean economy, worth 535 trillion Thareis 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 128,055 Thareis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tharee's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Destirism.

Tharee is ranked 239,106th in the world and 7,783rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 22.16062470608 days.
