The Queendom of Saint Von Artemis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Isabeau Narcisse Labelle with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.235 billion Artemisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angora. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Saint Von Artemisian economy, worth 81.4 trillion Praisis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,926 Praisis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Von Artemis's national animal is the Chartreux, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Narcissism.
Saint Von Artemis is ranked 32,568th in the world and 44th in Europe for Most Extreme, scoring 38.25 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
