The Queen's District of Them There Things is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 33.361 billion that wayians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 82.1%.

The strong Them There Thingsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,841 trillion juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,200 juno aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and Them There Things has designated District City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Them There Things's national animal is the quick pink fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Them There Things is ranked 107,277^th in the world and 1^st in Them There Things for Most Developed, scoring 59.89 on the Human Development Index.
