The Archontic Synarchy of Thorovia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Archon-Hierophant Rhadamasis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.478 billion Thorovians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argyromphe. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Thorovian economy, worth 143 trillion drachmas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,820 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', '.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Thorovian websites are meant for liberals or conservatives, the pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorovia's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kalayana Gnosticism.

Thorovia is ranked 45,447^th in the world and 5^th in Eruditio for Nudest, with 213.5 cheeks per square mile.
