The Republic of Democratic Arzordia is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The devout population of 8.695 billion Democratic Arzordians 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 Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 18.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Democratic Arzordian economy, worth 539 trillion bitcoins 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 62,093 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, and wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic Arzordia's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Democratic Arzordia is ranked 201,220th in the world and 63rd in Keep of Darkness XL for Most Stationary, with 46.22054680772 days.
