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.
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.
A recent law has banned homes from having any more than one wheel, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, and the army's shirt ninjas are the most feared assassins in the region. 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.
