The Siberian Principality of Arctic People is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Polar Bear population. The quiet, industrious population of 5.951 billion Arcticans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Arctic economy, worth 163 trillion Arctic Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,495 Arctic Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is well under control. Arctic People's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Arctic People is ranked 144,228th in the world and 6th in Siberia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 440.86 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
