The Nikopol Empire and Archoncy of Thama is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Archon Cedric with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 24.722 billion Nikopolians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roanoke. The average income tax rate is 4.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Nikopolian economy, worth a remarkable 8,726 trillion Blades 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 352,965 Blades, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever, there's a hole in the heart of every Nikopolian city, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and last minute own-goals raise the suspicious eyebrows of sporting authorities. Crime is well under control. Thama's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Craftfaith.
Thama is ranked 189,328th in the world and 9,189th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
