The Kingdom of Ardelark is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Isaak Fathi with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.593 billion Ardelarkians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mintaka. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Ardelarkian economy, worth 199 trillion Kwarts 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 76,821 Kwarts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, going on a diet invalidates your passport, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardelark's national animal is the Sand Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.
Ardelark is ranked 65,284th in the world and 200th in Forest for Most Income Equality, scoring 53.18 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
