The People's Soviet Republic of AraArea is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Chairwoman Ariane with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.525 billion AraAreans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yurigrad. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient AraArean economy, worth a remarkable 1,508 trillion DRS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 176,921 DRS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by AraArea, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion, and jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AraArea's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AraArea is ranked 4,187^th in the world and 1^st in Acehs for Most Developed, scoring 95.76 on the Human Development Index.
