The No Love Without Pain of Thousand Branches is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Madam Victoria with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, devout population of 5.288 billion Branchians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashas. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Thousand Branchesian economy, worth 371 trillion Petis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing. 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 70,298 Petis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, classes are regularly interrupted by drunken children, vital infrastructure development is on hold because of 'nature and stuff', and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thousand Branches's national animal is the Bumblebee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unishiss.
Thousand Branches is ranked 135,201st in the world and 62nd in International Democratic Union for Most Stationary, with 235.9005087458 days.
