The Commonwealth of Antarctelia is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 141 million Antarctelians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.
The strong Antarctelian economy, worth 9.37 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,425 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.
Private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, and demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarctelia's national animal is the Antarctic sea urchin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
Antarctelia is ranked 245,227th in the world and 4,046th in the South Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 385.25 milliStalins.
