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.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crater. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Shattered economy, worth a remarkable 1,926 trillion Curses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. 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.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, it turns out you can teach cats new tricks, and achieving blood purity involves a surprising amount of bloodshed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shattered Sky's national animal is the bludmink, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Shattered Sky is ranked 281,118th in the world and 3,225th in the West Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 19.76 quips per hour.
