Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Metropolitan Desert of Khrrck is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a democratic council with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 18.319 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exit. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Khrrck, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, all tariffs have been abolished, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Khrrck's national animal is the ruffled ice-snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is sorcery, and its currency is the eShard.

Khrrck is ranked 3rd in Space Sector RPRA and 3,836th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
