The People's Republic of Hurtful Thoughts is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 41.702 billion Hurties are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Hurtian economy, worth a remarkable 8,502 trillion thoughts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 203,875 thoughts, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,391,760 per year while the poor average 10,819, a ratio of 128 to 1.
The government loves seeing the little people fight, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, and voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hurtful Thoughts's national animal is the dodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Hurtful Thoughts is ranked 152,679th in the world and 3,221st in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 520.23 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
