The '''Absolute Monarchy of Tharra''' is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.336 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. 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.

The Duchy of Tharra is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.645 billion 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, 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.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Tharra's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the livre.
