The Federal Republic of Araschravia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leohnarvv Dhodvric with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and national health service. The cynical population of 1.41 billion Araschravians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kraklowitz. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Araschravik economy, worth 163 trillion Rubiels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,765 Rubiels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, Secular now admits men and women into its clergy, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and it's best to decline if Leohnarvv Dhodvric offers to buy a round of drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Araschravia's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.

Araschravia is ranked 19,427^th in the world and 209^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 89 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
