The Divine Empire of Tharra is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and frozen arctic lands. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.681 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the mysterious Eternal Ice Queen Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

The government has returned all business to private ownership, university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, and Tharra's army is full of 2 metre tall super-soldiers. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Tharra's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the silver talent.
