The Wicked Wisconsin Warper of Arstotskiano is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Arsto with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.266 billion Arstotskianians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steyntruthmen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Arstotskianian economy, worth a remarkable 2,362 trillion Arstotskoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 325,104 Arstotskoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,665,379 per year while the poor average 8,410, a ratio of 316 to 1.
Pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, when it comes to real men it takes one to know one, and vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Arstotskiano's national animal is the Arstotskiano, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arstoism.
Arstotskiano is ranked 1,534th in the world and 1st in Empires Forever United for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 213,268.57 Standard Monetary Units.
