The Federal Republic of Alacritus is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 812 million Alacritusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porta ad Caelum. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Alacritusian economy, worth 96.7 trillion Aethers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 119,084 Aethers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alacritus's national animal is the Aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Alacritus is ranked 39,231st in the world and 463rd in Europe for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.03 Effective Tax Rate.
