Location: A Nice Warm Cave The Holy Empire of Room 549 is a huge, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 768 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.
Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime is a problem. Room 549's national animal is the shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the caglar.
