The Queendom of Ars Paradoxica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Stelle with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.219 billion Paradoxicans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradox. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ars Paradoxican economy, worth 156 trillion vrells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,543 vrells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, when conspiracy theorists talk about "government moles" they're referring to mysteriously mobile skin lesions, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ars Paradoxica's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ars Paradoxica is ranked 12,556th in the world and 10th in Sophia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,447.01 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
