“United we stand!”

The Knighthood of Thur is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 24.795 billion Thurians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Social Policy, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Healthcare and Administration are ignored. The average income tax rate is 26.6%.

The strong Thurian economy, worth 511 trillion Thurs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 20,637 Thurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Thur has designated Thur City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Thur in an international press conference, and army rations are served on silver platters. Crime is a problem. Thur's national animal is the sparrow.

Thur is ranked 213,093^rd in the world and 80^th in England for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
