The Constitutional Monarchy of Thanetaria is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 73%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thanetaria's national animal is the thanetarian dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the thanet.

Thanetaria is the land of the Thanetarians. The majority religions are Christianity and the Old Religion.

The Old Religion believes in One God. Here is some words from a Old Religion text:

''Immortal is He, Father God Almighty, Father of All Mankind. Immortal is He, Lord of All, Immortal is He, Our Lord, Immortal is He, Destroyer of the Fire, Immortal is He, Protector of the Innocents, Immortal is He, Merciful in Judgement, Immortal is He, Gracious and Wise, Immortal is He, The True God, Immortal is He, The First and the Last, Immortal is He, Single in Heaven, Immortal is He, Master of Nature and Weather, Immortal is He, Creator God, Immortal is He, The Light, The Life and The Salvation, Immortal is He, The One, Immortal is He, Alpha and Omega, Immortal is He, The Uncreated, Immortal is He, The Absolute, Immortal is He, The Infinite, Immortal is He, The Eternal, Immortal is He, the Always Existant, Immortal is He, Created By No Other, Immortal is He, Heavenly Emperor of the Universe, Immortal is He, the Universal, Immortal is He, The Ultimate, Immortal is He, Master of Masters, Immortal is He, The Lord of Revelation, Immortal is He, Lord God, Immortal is He, God of All, Immortal is He, The Essence, Immortal is He, The Most High, Immortal is He, Most Blessed, Immortal is He, Most Holy, Immortal is He, Inspiration of Many, Immortal is He, The Forgiving, Immortal is He, All in All, Immortal is He, I AM, Immortal is He, Most Glorious, Immortal is He, The Greatest, Immortal is He, I AM WHO I AM, Immortal is He, The Being, Immortal is He, The Beginning and the End, Immortal is He, God of Gods, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Old Religion's followers and Christians have had a excellent relationship of tolerance and friendship.

How is my factbook so far? I may do more on the Old Religion.

May want to go into a bit more detail about culture, geography, current government and people in that government, any important figures, character, or places. Maybe some information about your military and tech level.

Other than that, good to see another Christian nation on NS--they are so rare these days.

There should be many Christian nations here on NS. Also, thanks for your advice on my factbook.

Here is some parts of an Old Religion text:

''God is the Eternal, Blessed, Most High and Holy, Creator, Master, Destroyer, Sustainer, King, Emperor, Immortal, High and Mighty, The Almighty, Lord, All Knowing, All Wise, All Merciful, All Gracious, Most Deserving Of Grace, Honor, Worship and Glory, All Glorious, Most Glorious, All Honorable, Most Honorable, Most Powerful, All Powerful, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, Master of the Day of Resurrection and Judgement, Lord of Sustanance, Most Pure, All Pure, The Infinite, And Master Of All Eternal Attributes.''

''The Lord's Attributes are so many, it is impossible to list them all down.''

The Old Religion is a Monotheist religion, it is an ancient religion as well.

OOC-Is this a good factbook so far?

The Thanetarians are led by an Emperor, Emperor Pharonius XVI. Pharonius has a wife, Empress Idrial.

His children are:
Princess Idrial
Princess Ceiru
Princess Artemis
Princess Pandora
Princess Elesia
Princess Revan
Prince Marcion (The Successor)

Pharonius is known as the Daughterbearer because most of his children are girls.

Well, Pythogria's athiest, but... meh. As long as you aren't some magna-extremist, Pythogria's fine with it.

We are not extremists. Christians and those of the Old Religion have had a excellent relationship. The Old Religion is an ancient monotheist religion.

Well then, no probelems there!

That's good, Pythogria.

That's good, Pythogria.

Hey, you know what... do you want to perhaps buy some military arms from me? Just specify what you need and I'll sell/design it.

Pythogria, a bit of everything would be good, I suppose.

Well, I need specifics. And I can alter it based on your doctrine. (How you run your army. Mine is "expensive super hi-tech units with lots of armor and superweapons at the expense of mobility", but yours could be "Incredibly huge cheap masses of dispoasables".)
