The Royal Republic of Thespinia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Tirio III with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.357 billion Thespinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calahbehred. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Thespinian economy, worth a remarkable 6,341 trillion Thespins 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 231,808 Thespins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, bars are packed at all hours, King Tirio III's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Thespinia after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime is totally unknown. Thespinia's national animal is the Thespian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is athiesm.

Thespinia is ranked 201,849th in the world and 5,105th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 45.56190139592 days.
