Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Radiant Ascendance of Onarii is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Illuminary with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.063 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Law & Order and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Radiance. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Tourism.

Religious education is a new government priority, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, and hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Onarii's many privately-owned prisons. Crime is totally unknown. Onarii's national animal is the White Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the lucent.

Onarii is ranked 2,044th in 10000 Islands and 99,103rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
