Nation/Arnauland

The Kingdom of Arnauland is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arnau2002 with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 977 million Arnaulandians 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 government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Public Transport are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnau City. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Arnaulandian economy, worth 72.5 trillion Arnauland Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 74,158 Arnauland Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and Arnau2002 has just been declared ruler of Arnauland in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arnauland's national animal is the Wild Arnau, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
