The Bloodthirsty Hordes of Arkhaza is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lomagsh Cracktusk with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.421 billion Arkhazi are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vuul-khazu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.7%.
The very strong Arkhazi economy, worth 518 trillion skulls 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Retail. 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 80,708 skulls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,882 per year while the poor average 21,933, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.
Creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport, the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, and citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkhaza's national animal is the weakling, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Drinking the Blood of the Weak.
Arkhaza is ranked 191,611th in the world and 31st in Atlantis for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,911.2 Standard Monetary Units.
