The Lucky Estuaries of Thosularia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Polisyzygy with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.576 billion Thosularians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleonoth. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thosularian economy, worth 360 trillion thylakoids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,104 thylakoids, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Thosularia's national animal is the pleoquernus lepidoptera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thosularia is ranked 288,520th in the world and 149th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
