The Federation of Cariocapolis is a huge, safe nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 200 million Cariocas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Carioca economy, worth 14.5 trillion dólars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 72,478 dólars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
