The 20th century brought higher education institutions and modern municipal services that shaped its contemporary character.

Theell is governed by a mayor and a city council elected to four-year terms. As the capital of Theell Province within the Eldorian federation, it hosts provincial offices and serves as a center for regional administration, culture, and planning.

The economy combines services, education, healthcare, and maritime commerce. Theell University and several research institutes anchor the knowledge sector, while the Lake Vel port handles freight and passenger traffic. The city is connected by rail, highways, and an international airport located nearby.

Theell hosts museums, theaters, and concert venues, including the Theell Observatory and the Lake Vel promenade. An annual Festival of Lights showcases local artists and performers, reflecting the city’s diverse heritage.
