State-owned companies are common. Average income is 16,546 Smackeroos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Rare Povertyian Navy, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and voting district maps are said to resemble a tyrannosaurus eating the capital. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rare Poverty's national animal is the Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
