The Pronouns of They is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.618 billion Theyians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Theyian economy, worth a remarkable 4,490 trillion Them 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 Soda Sales. 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 198,558 Them, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.
Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, and helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. They's national animal is the you, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
They is ranked 234,772nd in the world and 7,250th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.1430060218 days.
