Thouthen, officially the Democratic Republic of Free Thouthen, is a sovereign state located in Musgorocia. It is bordered to the south by the Novarian Ocean, to the east by Côte d'Émeraude, and to the north and west by Bourgougia. It also shares a tiny, sub-kilometre border with the city-state of Victory. With a land area of 19,538 square kilometres (7,544 sq mi) and an estimated population of 11,200,234, it is one of the smallest states in Musgorocia, albeit one of the most densely populated, with a population density of 573.3 people per square kilometre (1,484.8/sq mi). Since the Equalist Revolution of 2001, Thouthen has been governed as a unitary one-party state under a 'liberal progressive equalist' ideology. Led by Daniel Khassai Siyoum, who adopted the title Great Equaliser, the Revolution overthrew the internationally recognised, democratically elected government of Thouthen, and the Siyoum-led Democratic Socialist Party (DSP) immediately set about remaking all aspects of Thouthenese society, banning the practice of Christianity and installing the humanistic Gaia Hypothesis as the country's state religion. The country's capital, Benkenstein, was renamed Toleranzestaadt, with vast swathes of the city being demolished and rebuild according to equalist tastes.

Adopting an open borders policy towards immigration from Afruika and Hasua has caused the country's already sizeable immigrant population to swell, with approximately 60% of Thouthenese residents having either not been born in the country, or having at least one parent not born in Musgorocia as of 2023. Siyoum's regime has received little recognition from the international community, including none from the five permanent members of the International Security and Arbitration Council's (ISAAC) Security Committee. Consequently, these countries have regarded declarations by Siyoum to have withdrawn Thouthen from regional institutions such as the Musgorocian Criminal Court (MCC) as invalid. Beginning in mid-2024, and facing bankruptcy due to extraordinary levels of national debt caused by excessive spending on social welfare programmes and the military, Siyoum ordered the beginning of a genocide against the country's minority white Christian population, resulting in the Thouthen crisis.
