The Confederal States of Arbat is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Consul KM with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 27.873 billion Arbatians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elisa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Arbatian economy, worth an astonishing 13,869 trillion Aurals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 497,604 Aurals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,585,224 per year while the poor average 118,830, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.
Teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, and politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities. 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. Arbat's national animal is the Dinergate, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of the Great Orrery.
Arbat is ranked 55,235th in the world and 4th in Slavia for Most Stationary, with 795.37707429168 days.
