The Technocratic Republic of Artzozka is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and vat-grown people. The compassionate population of 6.951 billion Artzozkans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augustgrad. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Artzozkan economy, worth a remarkable 1,416 trillion Neo Zloties a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 203,733 Neo Zloties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, home renovation projects take decades to complete, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artzozka's national animal is the Parus Major, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Artzozka is ranked 6,346th in the world and 281st in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 191.26 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
