The Social Justice State of Thullia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Linda Sarsour with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, free-roaming dinosaurs, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 11.522 billion Thullians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berkeley. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Thullian economy, worth a remarkable 2,425 trillion Food stamps a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an amazing 210,529 Food stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and a video of Linda Sarsour wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thullia's national animal is the Trigglypuff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Social Justice.
Thullia is ranked 7,621st in the world and 209th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 179.85 kickbacks per hour.
