Location: Ordo Templi Orientis

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of The Thelemite is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Thelema population. Its hard-nosed population of 1.034 billion 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 medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to the Environment, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and elected officials often serve for decades in a single term. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Thelemite's national animal is the Thelema, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Thelema.

The Thelemite is ranked 1st in Ordo Templi Orientis and 45,391st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
