Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Ariago is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 316 million Ariagoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Ariagoan economy, worth 12.9 trillion Ries a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,929 Ries, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 263,796 per year while the poor average 2,565, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ariago's national animal is the Rieni, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ariago is ranked 131,737^th in the world and 6^th in Avaurelia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 823.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
