The Holy Republic of Grand Ararat

“One nation, one culture”

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

The Holy Republic of Grand Ararat is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Bishop Kaukasian with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 31.191 billion Grand Araratians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Wan. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The strong Grand Araratian economy, worth a remarkable 2,365 trillion drams a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,834 drams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Ararat's national animal is the kaukasian tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Armenian Orthodox Church.

Grand Ararat is ranked 86,524^th in the world and 59^th in New Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,824.54 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
