The Supreme Deity of Tharra is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.807 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic 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 must pay to enjoy Tharra's pristine beaches, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Tharra's many privately-owned prisons, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. 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 ducat.
