“Hope and Freedom”

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

The District of Ark Royale is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 7.341 billion Ark Royaleans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ark Royalean economy, worth 317 trillion betales a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,257 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, gambling is outlawed, deer are considered a delicacy, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime is totally unknown. Ark Royale's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ark Royale is ranked 132,112^th in the world and 5^th in Antillia Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,213.41 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
