The Music of Lords of the backstage is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.915 billion Lords of the backstageans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Lords of the backstagean economy, worth 807 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,021 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lords of the backstage's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Lords of the backstage is ranked 36,252nd in the world and 1st in Confederation of Dolboyobs for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,705.59 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
