It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery.

'''Étoile Arcture''' is a massive, economically powerful nation located on the Tropic of Capricorn on the west coast of Africa.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Etoile Arcture's national animal is the Megadonkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Accounting Unit.
