“Atheist Heaven”

The Free Land of Thorsager is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 522 million 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving industries.

Schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime is totally unknown. Thorsager's national animal is the Sleipnir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Wodan.

Thorsager is ranked 1216th in the region and 14,500th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
