The People's Republic of Argolide is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 346 million Argolideans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argos. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Argolidean economy, worth 27.4 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 79,311 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Argolide's national animal is the Ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Argolide is ranked 88,291^st in the world and 16^th in We like money for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,311.25 Standard Monetary Units.
