The Empire of Northern Therdargria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sheev Palpatine with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.452 billion Imperials are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coruscant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth 355 trillion Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 244,989 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.
Blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, citizens are told that foreigners are hungry ghosts who eat the flesh of the overly curious, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Northern Therdargria as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Therdargria's national animal is the Ysalamiri, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is New Order.
Northern Therdargria is ranked 288,205th in the world and 11,206th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.78 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
