The Universal State of The Therians is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by embedded sentient AttoParticles with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.289 billion Therians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thera Dyson Sphere. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Therian economy, worth a remarkable 8,577 trillion IsoUnits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 444,696 IsoUnits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Therians's national animal is the Programmable Bio-Matter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Atheistic Moral Logic Code 1-21E.

The Therians is ranked 61st in the world and 3rd in SICON for Largest Governments, scoring 117.76 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
