The Free Land of Araghela is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by National Executive Committee with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.64 billion Araghelans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Confluence. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Araghelan economy, worth 541 trillion Phrygians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 148,660 Phrygians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Araghela's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Confluence for fear of causing a fuss, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Araghela's national animal is the Red Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Araghela is ranked 254,128^th in the world and 246^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Black Market, with 161 billion Standard Monetary Units.
