The Empire of Imperialist Arstozka is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.544 billion Arstozkans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradizna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Imperialist Arstozkan economy, worth 166 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 108,063 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 936,455 per year while the poor average 2,007, a ratio of 466 to 1.
Women are kept out of work but at least dinner is served on time, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Leader in ermine and velvet garb, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperialist Arstozka's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Imperialist Arstozka is ranked 249,339th in the world and 117th in Equilism for Nudest, with 71.25 cheeks per square mile.
