The Other novoplatinean stats of Argentia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Steven Jarvis with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.879 billion Argentios are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Argentio economy, worth a remarkable 3,860 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 278,128 Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,141,521 per year while the poor average 44,740, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.
Nose plugs are the latest Argentio fashion accessory, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, nudity is frowned upon, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Argentia's national animal is the Yaguareté, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Argentia is ranked 11,419th in the world and 14th in Union Mundial for Most Cultured, scoring 112 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
