The Anablephobia of Straight Arm Salute is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Lord Sir Supreme Esquire with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 36.552 billion Fams are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Environment, although Education, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lowercase City. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Fam economy, worth a remarkable 2,552 trillion quid a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,827 quid, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, vital infrastructure development is on hold because of 'nature and stuff', it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Fam radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity. Crime is totally unknown. Straight Arm Salute's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Straight Arm Salute is ranked 283,931st in the world and 120th in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.58 kickbacks per hour.
