The Empire of Common4 is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Sunay with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.191 billion Common4ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kesan. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Common4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,545 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,805 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

It's not uncommon to see royalty hitchhiking to the nearest party, scummy-looking teenagers outside government buildings sell bureaucrats spoofed ShortTok accounts, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, and girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common4's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Muslim.

Common4 is ranked 11,779th in the world and 3rd in Common Storage for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,889.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
