The Community of CartAgRiem 002 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.187 billion CartAgRiem 002ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.6%.
The thriving CartAgRiem 002ian economy, worth 695 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, 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 84,978 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Dead Parrot Dung" has been declared a national treasure, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Banks of property damage, and restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CartAgRiem 002's national animal is the Dead Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
CartAgRiem 002 is ranked 235,146th in the world and 7,188th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 22.66270771808 days.
