The Murabian Protectorate of Unthank

“Beware!”

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

The Murabian Protectorate of Unthank is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Provost Lanark with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 11.246 billion Unthankics enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. 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 4,052 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 Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 360,348 coppers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,133,573 per year while the poor average 87,647, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, when you fly on Air Unthank you win a seat or you die, and bris parties are all the rage. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Unthank is ranked 29^th in the world and 1^st in Commonwealth of Saint Norm for Most Avoided, scoring 2,590.73 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
