The Murabian Protectorate of Unthank is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Provost Lanark with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.03 billion Unthankics are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unthank. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Unthankful economy, worth a remarkable 5,570 trillion coppers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 397,037 coppers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,786,667 per year while the poor average 54,430, a ratio of 32.8 to 1.

Streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens, applications to enter seminaries spike right before the obligatory fasts, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Lord Provost Lanark's bedroom, and unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Unthank's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Unthank is ranked 283,512th in the world and 1st in Commonwealth of Saint Norm for Most Secular, with 0.19 Atheism Rate.
