The Empire of Theranis III is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Your Celestial Highness with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.198 billion Therans 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 tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theraas Kaan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Theranis IIIian economy, worth a remarkable 7,867 trillion kraans a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 339,161 kraans, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and art criticism in Theranis III is scathingly destructive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Theranis III's national animal is the makhraan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none.

Theranis III is ranked 335^th in the world and 2^nd in Kataru Kur Gal for Lowest Crime Rates, with 217.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
