The Nomadic Peoples of Arriva Wales 20 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy and soft-spoken computers. The quiet, industrious population of 9.048 billion Arriva Wales 20ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Arriva Wales 20ian economy, worth 288 trillion Euros 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. 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 31,834 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Coat closets are being re-branded as bedrooms, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arriva Wales 20's national animal is the Black Widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Arriva Wales 20 is ranked 87,781st in the world and 13th in Saeculum Obscurum for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 92.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
