The Sarko-Roctanian Union of Sarkis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by WIP with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.082 billion Sarknese are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaimai̓yo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Sarknese economy, worth 425 trillion WIPS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 204,475 WIPS, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 956,603 per year while the poor average 26,110, a ratio of 36.6 to 1.
The country is preparing for war, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, foreign leaders who don't applaud WIP's speeches are regarded as enemies of Sarkis, and it's entirely possible foreign diplomats misheard when Sarkis offered the words "peace be upon you". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sarkis's national animal is the WIP, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secularism.
Sarkis is ranked 9,414th in the world and 307th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 36.64 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
