The Goated Zone of Workuta Thob

“Many hearts thobbing as one”

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

The Goated Zone of Workuta Thob is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Colossal Craig with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.655 billion Thobians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thobopolis. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Workuta Thobian economy, worth 224 trillion gollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 135,405 gollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders are advising that Colossal Craig's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, playground injuries are considered academic progress, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Workuta Thob's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Workuta Thob is ranked 7,544^th in the world and 6^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,651.22 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
