The Federal Republic of Argonopolis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Neonius Radon with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.9 billion Argonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Krypton City. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Argonopolisian economy, worth 419 trillion Xenons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,716 Xenons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
