The Socialist Dictatorship of Velikaya Arstotzka is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jorji Costava with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.124 billion Arstotzkans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradizna. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Velikaya Arstotzkan economy, worth 328 trillion Credits 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 154,830 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
People have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex, citizens can freely debate whether Jorji Costava is a great leader or the greatest leader, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Velikaya Arstotzka, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velikaya Arstotzka's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.
Velikaya Arstotzka is ranked 216,046th in the world and 4,014th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 32.39013204808 days.
