The MACEDONIAN EMPIRE of Arhelaj is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 42.464 billion Arhelajians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Arhelajian economy, worth 738 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is 17,391 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arhelaj's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Arhelaj is ranked 105,287th in the world and 1st in Kurdistan for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
