Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Greater Unicorn Realm of Council of Artaeum is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dictator Izan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.997 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unicornia. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

All guns must be registered, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Council of Artaeum's national animal is the Crop, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is The Church of the Alicorns, and its currency is the Realmsbit.

Council of Artaeum is ranked 42nd in The Alliance of Dictators and 17,542nd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 8 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
