The Federal Republic of Rio de Arkansas is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 214 million Arkansanians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Arkansasian economy, worth 17.1 trillion Arkansanian Caucasias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 80,100 Arkansanian Caucasias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, scientists are not permitted to ask questions, and Leader is famed for giving great back rubs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rio de Arkansas's national animal is the Long Tail Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Rio de Arkansas is ranked 47,784th in the world and 1,270th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 61.62 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
