The Free Land of Accurate Rio de Janeiro is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by MC Ednaldo Pereira with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.27 billion Cariocas are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Accurate Rio de Janeiroan economy, worth 522 trillion tiros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 159,807 tiros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,451,062 per year while the poor average 2,034, a ratio of 713 to 1.
Bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and fake beard sales are on the rise amongst female commuters. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Accurate Rio de Janeiro's national animal is the mongrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Accurate Rio de Janeiro is ranked 189,336th in the world and 29th in Arctica for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 875.24 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
