The Republic of Horsethief Butte is a very large, economically powerful nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, minimum wage, or any form of censorship. Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours and the government allows it citizens to decide waht is hate material.

Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 86 million are well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Citizens pay a Goods and Services Tax (Consumption Tax) of 2% with buisness expences being exempt. A robust private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Cattle Ranching, Manufacturing, Farming, Food Processing, and Retail.

Horsethief Butte is a democracy built on the publics right to vote or abstain as they wish. The populace has excellent civil rights and Horsethief Butte is currently the UN world Benchmark for Political Freedoms, explaining her bustling telecommunications, movie, and publishing inustries.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Education but , Law and Order, along with Enviromental Protection take top priority.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Horsethief Butte's national animal is the Black-billed Magpie , which frolics freely on the nation's dry prarie and well preserved badlands.
