The Unholy Black Dominion of Arcterus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Prime Executor with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.607 billion Arcterrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Installation Heliopolis. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Arcterian economy, worth a remarkable 3,476 trillion Sticks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,648 Sticks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, concussed Lazy Stoned Monkball players cannot remember their lineup position, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Arcterus's national animal is the Lazy Stoned Monk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Arcterus is ranked 3,663rd in the world and 5th in Yggdrasil for Most Stationary, with 3,614.70601992 days.
