Government
Since the City of Thi is within the borders of the country of Oz, it is under the jurisdiction of Ozma. However, being so isolated, the citizens of Thi know nothing of her.

The people are unaware of his leadership and content in their ignorance, and he is able to get them to do whatever he wants.
