The Republic of Ari ka is a fledgling, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Ari ka live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.
The very strong Ari ka economy, worth 322 billion Yamaha Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 53,742 Yamaha Credits, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the tenet of free speech is held dear, organ donation is compulsory, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli.
