The Mountain Paradise of Arhoren is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, feral children, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.802 billion Arhorenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arhoren City. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Arhorenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 trillion Koronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Retail, Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 179,293 Koronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Orange trees find it's not easy being green, organ donation rates have hit a new low, a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Arhoren remains pure, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Arhoren's national animal is the Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Arhoren is ranked 94,305th in the world and 4th in Mandalanusa for Most Stationary, with 482.57664948408 days.
