The Catastrophic Corporates of General TN is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Redtooth with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.671 billion Money Makers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TN Sol Sołegna. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient A Money Maker economy, worth a remarkable 1,517 trillion 𝕿𝕹 𝖉𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖗s a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 267,517 𝕿𝕹 𝖉𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖗s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,475,413 per year while the poor average 2,794, a ratio of 885 to 1.

Immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, when you fly on Air General TN you win a seat or you die, a surprising number of travelers carry their water in vodka bottles, and savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks. 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. General TN's national animal is the General TM, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Capitalist Greed.

General TN is ranked 140th in the world and 1st in A Golden Hell for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 40,476.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
