An executive assembly controls the central government of Tholos. This assembly has established a non-interference treaty with the Ukp. The provisions of the treaty generally state that the Tholions will ignore the UKP and expects the same in return.

It has been discovered that the Tholions do occupy a base on the hot side of Mercury. Tholos has an atmosphere of plasma gas and a surface of semi molten rock with oceans of metals and mountains of ceramic and crystal. No human has ever set foot on Tholos for obvious reasons.
