The The of of Arrigorriaga is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.68 billion Arrigorriagans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmyra. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Arrigorriagan economy, worth 155 trillion Ducats a year, is highly specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 58,098 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Palmyra to enjoy their national art, and academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arrigorriaga's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Arrigorriaga is ranked 180,806th in the world and 3,863rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 45.67 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
