The Murabian Protectorate of Unthank

“Beware!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Murabian Protectorate of Unthank is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Provost Lanark with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, vat-grown people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 8.384 billion Unthankics are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unthank. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Unthankful economy, worth a remarkable 2,810 trillion coppers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 335,166 coppers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,381,269 per year while the poor average 53,545, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

The CEO of Laws Incorporated must sign off on all new bills, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, most Unthankics wear towels as demand for pants outstrips supply, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Unthank's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Unthank is ranked 245,303^rd in the world and 2^nd in Commonwealth of Saint Norm for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.4 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
