The Astral Realm of Tianh is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Nyarlathotep with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, compulsory vegetarianism, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.157 billion monsters are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.3%.

The frighteningly efficient local economy, worth 815 trillion virtues a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 100,011 virtues, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,058 per year while the poor average 18,023, a ratio of 21.3 to 1.

Nyarlathotep wears a chewed-up rubber chicken suit to meet foreign delegates, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages, and the government is proudly free of crabs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tianh's national animal is the crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Tianh is ranked 235,237^th in the world and 12,736^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
