The Community of CartAgRiem 011 is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 9.741 billion CartAgRiem 011ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.4%.
The frighteningly efficient CartAgRiem 011ian economy, worth 995 trillion Banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,149 Banks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 496,402 per year while the poor average 12,140, a ratio of 40.9 to 1.
The path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CartAgRiem 011's national animal is the Dead Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
CartAgRiem 011 is ranked 166,393rd in the world and 84th in Riemst for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 31.42 Effective Tax Rate.
