The Community of CartAgRiem 003 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.196 billion CartAgRiem 003ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse CartAgRiem 003ian economy, worth 860 trillion Banks 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 104,986 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People can get away with murder these days, third world countries are rich in "I Love CartAgRiem 003 City" t-shirts, faking deafness is the only way to guarantee a holiday in the nation, and putting houses on stilts is elevating house porches and prices alike. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CartAgRiem 003's national animal is the Dead Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
CartAgRiem 003 is ranked 235,818th in the world and 7,358th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 22.66260355148 days.
