“Friendship is the ruin of nations”

The Chaotic lands of Nothreen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prankisimo with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 10.573 billion Nothreenians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rudezia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Nothreeny economy, worth a remarkable 4,790 trillion Noos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 453,069 Noos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,225,623 per year while the poor average 4,305, a ratio of 981 to 1.

The daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, theoretical science is only theoretical, sales of superhero insurance have skyrocketed after the government abandoned the police in favor of vigilantes, and guns don't kill people — heroes do. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nothreen's national animal is the Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Knockism.

Nothreen is ranked 37^th in the world and 4^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 60,380.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
