The Rogue Nation of Thertopir is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Thertopir with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.145 billion Thertopirians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thertopir. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Thertopirian economy, worth 618 trillion Humans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,250 Humans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, all recreational drugs are legal, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and contestants on Thertopir's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thertopir's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Thertopirism.
Thertopir is ranked 196,715th in the world and 7,968th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 184.22 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
