The Commonwealth of Arkerian is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Chancellor with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 11.31 billion Arkerian Citizens enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Arkerianian economy, worth a remarkable 2,568 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 227,128 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Incidents involving lethal string attacks have gone way up, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arkerian's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Arkerian is ranked 19,794th in the world and 1,100th in Balder for Safest, scoring 114.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
