The Republic of Ariesee

“From the sea we arise”

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

The Republic of Ariesee is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 144 million Aryseans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ariseean economy, worth 12.2 trillion fins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 84,971 fins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, the government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys, and people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ariesee's national animal is the Trunked Green Forel Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ariesee is ranked 134,227^th in the world and 2,400^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 734.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
