The Purgatory of Shattered Sky is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Mosaic the Insatiable with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.286 billion the Broken are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 364,442 Curses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
