The Thaindomsvkreig of Thanatos Vormir is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Thanos the Bloodless with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.499 billion Titans 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.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tmeraivhknlosc. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Titan economy, worth 796 trillion Creditrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 227,540 Creditrons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,068,589 per year while the poor average 2,863, a ratio of 722 to 1.
Politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, old folks yearn for the days when young people saw bloodthirsty death matches with their own eyes instead of through a screen, and the country is constantly under siege trying to protect soccer moms who've settled in occupied territory (Thanatos Vormir has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Thanatos Vormir's national animal is the Kraken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Avatar of Kronos.
Thanatos Vormir is ranked 16,128th in the world and 55th in Europe for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 8,334 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
